    Currently the folder.jpg approach doesn't work for TV shows.

    Ok thanks for letting me know!

    And as for movies that do not recognize thumbnails in the folder (the folder.jpg) and replace it with a movie screenshot still or no picture at all?

    Got to wait for the nfo support to use your own images with TV shows.

    Just thought of this. folder.jpg will still work after nfo support is implemented, correct?
    My nfo's have thumbnail links but I would still prefer for the local artwork to be used.

    Do I need to put the path to the folder.jpg in the <thumb> tags?

    For TV shows the local path does need to be included in the <thumb> tag and I'm curious if this is going to be a global change to way Boxee functions.

    Movie: Sin City
    Video File: Sin.City.(2005).avi
    Image File: Sin.City.(2005).tbn
    Thanks!
