I have a portable hard drive TB connected to my raspberry pi 4 loaded with mp4 movies/ tv shows. I have it all organized. A Movie folder with my mp4 movies and a TV folder with my mp4 tv shows so I know where to go to.
As for my movies. When clicking the movie folder to go to my mp4s, the do each movie have to be in its own movie folder. How would I add a movie cover to the movie folder

I have a TB drive loaded with MP4 videos, movies and classic tv shows. So i don't even bother connecting the Pi to the internet.
I have now each movie in its own folder and i also place the movie cover in the movie folder along with the movie. So When go online to watch my favorite movies and shows since i can just hop over to the kodi and select the drive to watch my shows. SO since the pi isn't connected and i just watch my MP4 is there a different way for me to add my movie cover to the movie folder since the cover are in the same folder as the video.

So, since the Pi is not connected, and my posters are saved in the same folder as the video
the movie should be
movie title (2019).mp4
movie title (2019)-poster.jpg
and then do i have to scan i order for it to work

Here's the thing, I have two raspberry pi 4s, one mounted on a 10.1inch screen that i fixed up as a mp3 player. I plugged the usb drive to the laptop, loading my mp3 on it. i used itunes to add album covers to the mp4 files. Once that i reconnected the usb stick to the player, which also has Kodi on the pi. Once i started the player up, it shows all the mp3 files with their album cover.
So, i just figure as for my other player connected to the TV, i can connect my usb driver that has my movies and covers in the sames folders to the laptop and add the movie poster to the folder. I have a software where i can have my cover to show instead of the folder icon...
