Hi,
First of all, I'm new to XBMC, but I'm mightily impressed with it: it works out of the box with the DLNA server on my Synology NAS, and with my dreambox, so finally 1 tool for all my viewing needs!
One thing I don't seem to be able to get working (and I'm confused about whether it's actually supposed to work), is getting thumbnails for video files from my UPnP server to show in XBMC.
Placing the files locally and using folder.jpg or *.tbn works perfectly, but not over UPnP.
My Synology NAS has the option to set files with specific names as music/video cover (like cover.jpg or folder.jpg). I tried that but it doesn't work.
I've googled till I was blue in the face on this issue, but I didn't seem to find a definitive answer for it:
I'm a bit of a programmer too, so I'm willing to try something out, if someone can point me in the right direction.
Any help, suggestions or opinions appreciated!
I'm using Win7 x64, BTW

I've googled till I was blue in the face on this issue, but I didn't seem to find a definitive answer for it:
- Is it technically possible? (I guess so, since my NAS has an option like that)
- Is it supposed to work in the current XBMC version, if so: how? Is my NAS at fault maybe?
- If not, how can it be made to work: a scraper, a plugin, a script...
