I use a Single Artwork Folder (If Gotham or some other future build adds a naming convention for movie set artwork, having it all waiting in one folder will makes things easier to move to the new convention). And everything with MSAA works perfectly that way.
But to help with some of the confusion about the Frodo naming conventions....
Despite what the Wiki might say, while the prefix is required for movies in folders (poster.jpg obviously won't work), by observing it's behavior XBMC also prefers it used for movies in folders.
For example, if you use poster.jpg with movies in folders and then do an export to separate files, you'll end up with poster.jpg and <Movie Name>-poster.jpg in the movie folder. If you then refresh the movie info or rescrape the library, XBMC will read the <Movie Name>-poster.jpg and ignore poster.jpg.
DanCooper put together a nice table of the "Frodo compliant" naming convention based on testing what Frodo exports and prioritizes when scraping existing folders.
Here's his chart (Google translated from German to English with minor edits by me for TOS compliance on other forums):
Single Movie File:
<Movie Name> (Film Folder)
-------> <Movie Name>.avi
-------> <Movie Name>.nfo
-------> <Movie Name>-poster.jpg
-------> <Movie Name>-fanart.jpg
-------> <Movie Name>-trailer.avi
-------> .actors (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> FirstName_LastName.jpg
-------> extrathumbs (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> thumb1.jpg
-------> -------> thumb2.jpg
Movies with multiple files:
<Movie Name> (Film Folder)
-------> <Movie Name> CD1.avi
-------> <Movie Name> CD2.avi
-------> <Movie Name>.nfo
-------> <Movie Name>-poster.jpg
-------> <Movie Name>-fanart.jpg
-------> <Movie Name>-trailer.avi
-------> .actors (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> FirstName_LastName.jpg
-------> extrathumbs (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> thumb1.jpg
-------> -------> thumb2.jpg
With VIDEO_TS files in movie folder:
<Movie Name> (Film Folder)
-------> VIDEO_TS.IFO (and all other DVD files)
-------> VIDEO_TS.nfo
-------> poster.jpg
-------> fanart.jpg
-------> VIDEO_TS-trailer.avi
-------> .actors (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> FirstName_LastName.jpg
-------> extrathumbs (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> thumb1.jpg
-------> -------> thumb2.jpg
With VIDEO_TS being a subfolder of the movie folder:
<Movie Name> (Film Folder)
-------> poster.jpg
-------> fanart.jpg
-------> VIDEO_TS (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> VIDEO_TS.IFO (and all other DVD files)
-------> -------> VIDEO_TS.nfo
-------> -------> VIDEO_TS-trailer.avi
-------> -------> .actors (Subfolder of VIDEO_TS)
-------> -------> ------->FirstName_LastName.jpg
-------> -------> extrathumbs (Subfolder of VIDEO_TS)
-------> -------> -------> thumb1.jpg
-------> -------> -------> thumb2.jpg
With BDMV Folder (BluRay):
<Movie Name> (Film Folder)
-------> poster.jpg
-------> fanart.jpg
-------> BDMV (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> index.bdmv
-------> -------> index.nfo
-------> -------> index-trailer.avi
-------> -------> .actors (Subfolder of BDMV)
-------> -------> ------->FirstName_LastName.jpg
-------> -------> extrathumbs (Subfolder of BDMV)
-------> -------> -------> thumb1.jpg
-------> -------> -------> thumb2.jpg
-------> -------> STREAM (Subfolder of BDMV)
-------> -------> -------> 00000.m2ts (Consecutively Numbered Files)
-------> CERTIFICATE (Subfolder of movie Folder)
-------> -------> Original Files
