Description

I have shares that I add to my Boxee Box that are full of items that I don't want (or don't fit) in my Movie or Shows libraries. When I select Files from the pop-up menu and scroll down to Local Folders and Network Shares and select one, it would be nice if it displayed folder.jpg artwork (if the exist) for the highlighted folder on the right-hand side.

For example, I have a collection of MMA events. Each event is in its own folder with a folder.jpg that is a scan of its original poster. Many of these events aren't listed in IMDb, so there's no sense in adding the share to the library. It would be cool if, when I'm browsing through these local folders and I stop on one, the folder.jpg showed up on the right-hand side to remind me who fought in that event.

I would really appreciate if this function was added as I have a large collection of anime and Asian films that are not cataloged on IMDB so it would not make sense to try and add them to the library. Having the folder.jpg show up in the right as a thumbnail would make the Boxee experience a lot more pleasant as it is kind of ugly right now browsing through the Files section. Thanks.

I also have many international films (i.e. Bollywood) as well as TV shows from Canadian and Australian TV networks that are not listed in imdb. So it would be nice if the application displays the <movie>.jpg, if the movie jpg is missing it should display folder.jpg
i.e.
My.Movie.part1.avi
My.Movie.part1.jpg *
My.Movie.part2.avi
My.Movie.part2.jpg
folder.jpg *

This issue seems like a no-brainer to me. Surely this is going to be standard behavior?

It's very similar to BOXEE-4303, as far as I can tell.

I'd actually like to see the IMDB rating under the photo, and also include some things that XBMC offers, such as a movie synopsis from IMDB. This is a fairly high priority for me personally.

I agree with the other posts, this would be great to differentiate from several classes of home movie folders I have (vacations, pets, biking, etc).
