Hi, I am new to this forum and new to boxee. I am using it on my Mac, testing it out before I load it to my ATV. So far I love it and I am excited to start using it on my ATV. I have two questions though.

First, I want to replace the cover art for a TV series that I have. The episodes all have the correct descriptions and art but the cover art on the folder that holds the episodes is not the one I want. I read on this forum you can use your own cover art by changing the image name to Folder.jpg. I did that and it is not working. It still shows the older art and is not updating to the new art I have in the same directory. I even tried renaming my image to preview.jpg, but that didn't work either. Any idea why this isn't working? At some point I would also like the option to use my own cover art for an individual movie.

My second question has to do with a resume play back feature on movies and tv shows. I currently use Sapphire on AppleTV if I start playing a movie and then stop it and come back to it in a couple days it gives me the option to resume playing where I left off. This is a very handy option as I have a child and get interrupted a lot. Is this currently possible on boxee or maybe in a future update?

Thanks

It seems that this is a bug. Once it has fetched cover art from the web it will keep it. Adding a folder.jpg to a folder will not result in being used. When you remove a Folder.jpg from a folder it will keep showing up. Let's hope the new version corrects this.

you can try deleting this folder:
~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/profiles/agentlame/Thumbnails/Video

for the resume question, see here:

OK, I deleted the folder ~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/profiles/agentlame/Thumbnails/Video and that still didn't fix the problem. I could tell that it was downloading all of the cover art on my TV shows again but it still came up with the wrong one and not the cover art I had in the folder labeled folder.jpg.

I have a TV series in a folder with the name of the show, then another folder that says Season 1. I placed the cover art labeled folder.jpg in both of these folders just to be sure. So, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
