[0.16pre4] album art for folder as folder.jpg
In previous ReadyDLNA releases you guys implemented folder.jpg (or Folder.jpg) to be the same as cover.jpg so it would show as an album art for a folder (for example of video files).
At the moment cover.jpg works, but folder.jpg does not work anymore.
One advantage of having folder.jpg over cover.jpg is that Windows would apply folder.jpg to the folder as folder icon.
It is not a big deal though...

- At the moment, you would most likely need SSH to modify the configuration file, and change the order of the filenames.

model_number=1 - Maybe I'm posting in the wrong thread but I too can not get my XBOX 360 to display folder art for my video files. I have a movie in a folder and within that folder I have placed a file named "Cover.jpg", yet my XBOX 360 does not show it as folder art. Am I doing something wrong here?
- The 360 isn't UPnP-A/V or DLNA compliant. The are "Windows Media Connect" compliant, and thus only Windows knows the special way to send it cover art AFAIK. PS3 and other devices will show video cover art though.

It still works for me. Do you have any other jpg's in the folder?- Skywalker, thanks for the reply but I'm not even sure what you mean. Does the ReadyNAS Duo currently show coverart for video folders or not? Is there something I'm doing wrong???
- The Duo supports and advertises video cover art properly following the DLNA and UPnP-A/V spec. It's up to the client (in your case the 360) to request the image data and display it, and unforuntately the 360 will not do that. You're not doing anything wrong; the 360 just does not support it.

I did not have any other jpg's in the folder. I changed the config file and moved folder.jpg to the beggining of the line and then it worked.- Thanks to alenas for the above information. folder.jpg wouldn't display on my PS3 until I moved it to the beginning of the album_art_names list and restarted / re-scanned. My media looks much better now.

Hi
So just so I am reading this right.....artwork for the movie will now show up on the xbox 360 but you need to have e.g.
/Stars Wars/Star Wars.avi
/Star Wars.jpg
that right?- No, the 360 unfortunately doesn't support artwork in the standard way.
