[QUOTE="alpax, post: 123625, member: 24528"] Thank you, rtv! That would be nice. But for now I have actually found a workaround. That's good that MP at least shows the icons from separate image files, which have the same name as the videos. It was just time consuming for me to create those for all my videos. But while researching this question I found that MPlayer can make a "screenshot" from command line! So I just ran it through all my *.avi files, and got a bunch of corresponding JPEGs! Of course many of them were not quite acceptable as they contained just a randomly chosen frame, but at least it was a good start. Now it needs some more manual work, but the result should be even better than in MCE! :D By the way, can I change the size of the icons shown in the Icon View? Currently they are vertically-oriented - designed for DVD-cover images, I guess. But the frame-captures are mostly 4:3, so I would change the icon dimentions the same way. Is it in the skin, or somewhere else? Can you give a clue, what and where to look for please? [/QUOTE]
