Full Version: Thumbnails not loaded automatically for TV Episodes

Hi, I recently organized my media library. I have locally stored thumbnails for each episode of a TV Show. However, when I loaded the files into the library, the thumbnails for the episodes didn't load automatically.

My folder structure is

Dora The Explorer
-- Season 1
----- Episode 1
----- Episode 2

Each thumbnail for the episode has the same filename as the file, except with a .TBN extension.

I read the thumbnail twiki but didn't find any info in there.

I'm wondering if its because in the Season folder, I have multiple episodes in there?

Thanks for your help for a newbie.
After some debugging, I found that it does load automatically if I use a SMB share.

I was connecting my iPAD via FTP to my home server.

I tried a test, and created a local SMB share and then re-added the episodes and the thumbnails loaded.

Does anyone know why the thumbnails would load automatically for a SMB share and not an FTP share?
