Movies:
<movie>-poster.jpg (the XBMC Frodo FAQ says "poster.jpg", but this setting is better because this is the standard to which the XBMC database exported (separate files).
<movie>-fanart.jpg
<movie>.nfo
Both are in the FAQ for frodo
For folders (e.g. tvshows, movies in folders, or just folders on the filesystem)
poster.(png/jpg)
banner.(png/jpg)
fanart.(png/jpg)
NOTE: movies in folders can also use the options under files below.
For files (episodes, movies not in folders, video files)
[moviename]-(poster/banner/fanart).(png/jpg)
[episodename]-thumb.(png/jpg)
[filename]-(poster/banner/fanart).(png/jpg)
XBMC always exports using file name because it can be used in either situation as noted above.

Which elements of my list are wrong?
Please note, in Ember 1.3.0.7 fix4.2 the opening configuration dialogs for filenaming offer a smaller subset of the actual filenaming options inside the app.
Also, in the opening config dialogs it states that <season>-fanart should reside inside the season folder, but it does not state this in the application config. According for the Frodo Wiki, the <season>-fanart should reside in the show folder, not the season folder.
I'll reiterate though, that whilst the number of available filenaming options is great - the defaults aren't in line with Frodo (might be an idea to help promote Frodo conventions?) plus, not all the Frodo conventions are supported:
<movie>-poster.jpg/png (not supported)
<movie>-banner.jpg.png (not supported, but a rare use case)
<show>-poster.jpg/png (not supported)
<show>-banner.jpg/png (not supported)
<season>-fanart.jpg/png (conflicting UI between show folder or season folder deployment)
<season>-banner.jpg/png (not supported)
Is any of the above incorrect?
At present, I have no problem with my system setup, I use some scripting to batch rename to Frodo standards, but sadly, as Ember cannot (yet) detect the above standards, I've had to shelve it for the moment.
On a side note, I absolutely think it would be helpful of forum members tried to steer new users to at least adopting the Frodo naming conventions rather than perpetuating the use of 'tbn' etc.
Finally, the <movie> / <show> prefix convention is probably the safest default option since it will work for flat and folder based media alike.
No, <show>-poster.jpg, <show>-banner.jpg, <season>-poster.jpg/-fanart.jpg/-banner.jpg isn't correct. The best way is use exactly the same filenaming like database export in Frodo:
for shows:
poster.jpg, fanart.jpg, seasonXX-poster.jpg/-fanart.jpg/-banner.jpg
Exactly
