I wanted to get my movies to display a correct cover image so I used XBMC to generate a bunch of nfo files and to drop poster art into the folders I have files in. Whenever I have more than one video file in a folder, I end up with just the last files cover jpg being shown for all the videos. For example, I have one folder with Harry Potter 1-6 in it, they all show the cover art for HP6. I don't really know how to fix it. The files are named videofilename-poster.jpg, where the video file is videofilename.mkv.
Thanks.

I'm not sure which skin you are using in XBMC and whether or not you have enabled moviestacking in advancedsettings.xml but it would prob be best to have one movie per folder or maybe try this
