    Default Distinguish Duplicate Movies - DVD and BluRay

    I have two different folders, DVD and BluRay that I am streaming to Boxee Box. My problem I am running into is I used to always download DVD and have started downloading BluRay so I have duplicate files. For example:
    Avatar.DVDRip
    Avatar.1080p.BluRay
    When I go into the 'Movies' folder on Boxee Box (have it set to use local content mostly) and click on Avatar, it says Play Local Content 2 times. I can't tell whether I am playing the DVDRip or BluRay until I actually click to play one of them and notice the quality.

    I guess I am wondering if it would be possible to display the full file name so I can distinguish one from another vs guess and check?

    Thanks!

    take a look at the bottom of the dialog box you are talking about, the filename is there

    It is listed on the bottom but it should be much nicer.

    Simple overlays showing file type over thumbnails would be sweet.

    I disagree. I like the current model where a title has a single thumbnail/item in the list of movies/shows.

    A file type or quality overlay on or near the "Play..." buttons after a title has been selected would work though...

    May not want to admit to copyright infringement in open forums, just saying.
