[QUOTE="JulianBuss, post: 66145, member: 10499"] to keep you informed: I implemented the missing code so that "genre" and "artists"-folders having a thumb, too. After some testing I found that the basic code is already there; in the "thumbs/music" directory there are subdirs for "gerne" and "artists". When a jpg for each genre / artist is available there, the folder in the "gerne" or "artist" view will display it. So all I had to do was to modify the "update music database" stuff so that coverart is being created in this "thumbs/music/genre" and "thumbs/music/artists" directory. That was easy, because there was already similar code in the MediaPortal.Music.Database.MusicDatabase -> UpdateSong method. A problem still exists if for example an artist is named "AC/DC", and the "/" is not allowed in a filename. But I will think about that later. [/QUOTE]
