most of the time
*.tbn is *.jpg
I have seen some
*.tbn as *.bmp (windows bitmap)
  Code:
Movies\path\moviename.avi
Movies\path\moviename.tbn


XBMC reads these and exports these as *.tbn :/

I was thinking it wouldn't be difficult to add these in. :D

Have a good day!

I thought they also export folder.jpg, which serviio supports

These are primarily used for episode thumbnails but, XBMC now pretty much exports only tbn files for videos. It reads the old stuff. But I will end up with 2-3 copies of all the thumbnails.
fanart.jpg is moviename-fanart.jpg
folder.jpg is moviename.tbn (movies) or season-all.tbn (tv-shows) or season01.tbn (tv-shows-season1)

episode thumbnails as long as I've been exporting my metadata fromo xbmc have been
episodefilename.tbn

The next version of xbmc i'm pretty sure might be more complicated :P they will be supporting clearart and such in the default theme. I donno if it's gonna export that stuff though or how they will deal with it. basically pngs with the logo's of shows and such.

I too would like this. I use http://mediacompanion.codeplex.com/ to scrape and catalog movie info and it produces XBMC output including .tbn poster art files. I generally have a lot of single movie files in each folder.
The poster is.tbn but strangely fanart is .jpg, e.g CLOVERFIELD.tbn CLOVERFIELD-fanart.jpg

I would like this as well, was using media companion to fix up the posters and nfo content and noticed this as well. Some of my devices run XBMC or can read its formats, it would be nice if serviio did this for the DLNA devices.

I have actually requested this specific feature:
https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... thumbnails

It is quite unfortunate to have to choose between these options:
1) Use up bandwidth (capped) to redownload all info, and have the art be shown
2) Use the existing nfo, tbn, etc which has already been downloaded, but have the tbn (and embeded album art in case of MP4s) be ignored. :(

+1
I used Media Companion to save the *.tbn files. Then I changed all tbn-extensions to jpg. Drawback is that they are no longer displayed in Media Companion and will be dowloaded again next time a rescrape is run :(

It's great that https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... thumbnails was added in v1.2 however the latest XBMC (v12 Frodo) no longer creates .tbn files but instead creates file with these names http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Fr ... cal_images.
Any chance support for these new files could be added?

Luckily https://mediacompanion.codeplex.com has a option to still create the old pre-Frodo .tbn files.

I believe that "poster.jpg" is supported in Serviio. The Serviio Supportpage for metadata extraction states:
"Video: dvdcover.jpg, movie.jpg, >> name including "poster".jpg <<, {media_file_name}.jpg, {media_file_name}.tbn, {media_file_name}.thm".
"Poster" would include "poster" I guess... ;)

My movies aren't in folders so I need it to match up with [moviename]-poster.jpg, e.g. Finding Nemo (2003)-poster.jpg which it currently doesn't seem to - All movies without a tbn file have the image of the last jpg in the folder with the word 'poster' in it.

ok, please reopen that ticket and add details on how to fix it, with example names.
