Feature request:
Amber uses poster.jpg/videoname-poster.jpg art when browsing in fileview for folder if no folder.jpg found
TLDR: Amber seems to only use folder.jpg for folder art with stuff that doesn't have content set.
I recently started using Amber after I upgraded to Kodi 19 Matrix where I was previously using Transparencey! with v18 and before.
Amber is a beautiful skin and is an excellent upgrade from Transparencey! except for one niche issue for me.
I have a top menu item made titled "Kids" which opens a favorite of a multiple path SMB source of /Kids TV and /Kids Movie all into one. Each movie/TV show is in its own subfolder under those main folders. Content is not set for this as it's mixed content. I find easier to keep the kids stuff out of the DB of more adult movies/TV stuff that content is set for. Easier for them browsing mixed content and they don't miss the info/DB stuff. They navigate purely by the title and art.
With Transparency! it would use the poster.jpg/moviename-poster.jpg for artwork for these items. Amber seems to only use folder.jpg for the folder art. All my TV stuff have folder.jpgs but the movies do not so Amber shows a fanart background for them and a generic folder image for the poster. I could copy all the poster.jpgs and rename into folder.jpgs as a fix and will if necessary to continue using this skin. Just thought I'd see if this could be added.
Thanks for the beautiful skin
