Follow the instructions for installing this view mod.
As for getting the images, plot info, file type etc, you must "Scrape" your files. In this process, XBMC will examine the file name of a video and try to locate the proper information for it. For example if you have "thehighlander.avi" it will look at the name and submit it to various online sources like imdb.com. That will return an id number needed for it to find the coorisponding media details. XBMC will then download those and add it into a video database you can access via the library mode.
The wiki will detail what steps you must take to accomplish this. You can also use 3rd party software to fetch this information. I like Media Companion (

I'd suggest reading the XBMC tutorial. Remember, no program can identify movies and music with 100% accuracy, so it's always best to make sure your file are properly named before scraping the media.
