serviio 1.1 - movie coverarts ?

Hi.

Got some questions.

What do I have to do that that Serviio shows coverarts ( folder.jpg) of my movies instead of the first movie picture as thumbnail?

Most of my movies got the ./moviexyz/BDMV/STREAM/xxxx.m2ts structure.

Where would I put the cover art?


One more:

Would it be possible to just announce just the "folder" structure to the TV?

Background: All other submenues (genre/movie/....) are not useable at all in my case.

The best would be if only coverarts would show up on the tv side to select a movie by one click, without having to go down to /folder/moviexyz/BDMV/STREAM/xxxx.m2ts all the time.
I got no clue how to set this up. Any help is apprectiated.

THX.

Re: serviio 1.1 - movie coverarts ?

that's what i figured by myself:

1. cover arts need to be in the movie file folder. it's not sufficiant to have them in the movie folder structure ( e.g. below bdmv)
serviio doesn't seem to handle movies in folder structures as done by e.g. jrmc.
2. via serviidroid i could change the items as shown on the tv to a certain extent.
that still does not prevent from having to go down several layers to click on the actual file.
i'd really like to see that serviio would manage to identify on its own the respective movie files, group them
if a playlist is available and then create a virtual movie item out of it. that's also done on e.g. jrmc.

cheers
