According to the XBMC Wiki for How should local images be named for Frodo?:
I view my video library in files mode. My directory structure looks something like this:
DVDs
|
+---Kids
|
+---Anime
...
In the Kids, Anime, etc. directories I have placed a poster.jpg file. XBMC does not seem to like the file to be named poster.jpg where it ends up showing the default image for a directory. If I change that file to be named folder.jpg, XBMC ends up displaying the image correctly. I am able to use poster.jpg in subdirectories under Kids, Anime, etc. and XBMC shows those images correctly. So my question is this, is this a bug in XBMC or does the Wiki need to be updated?
Quote:Since Frodo now supports both posters and banners simultaneously, and for other supported images, the following naming conventions are available for local images (Only required if the user wants to specify what image to use. Otherwise XBMC will automatically download images from the video scraper). Whenever possible, old Eden style naming is supported for backwards compatibility.
For folders (e.g. tvshows, movies in folders, or just folders on the filesystem)
- poster.(png/jpg)
- banner.(png/jpg)
- fanart.(png/jpg)
