Local Artwork

Local movie artwork is saved in the same folder where the movie file is saved.

The default file name for movie artwork is <movie file name>-<arttype>.<ext> - see image below. (does not apply to DVD and Bluray folders)

There is also a short name <arttype>.<ext> that is used for DVD and Bluray folders. It can also be used for Single Files when the following conditions are met...

  1. Movie Folders are used
  2. Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title must be Enabled in the Set Content Screen
  3. No corresponding artwork with long format names are present in that movie folder, as these take priority.
