build 1.1.0
custom movie thumbnails don't show in "title" mode, but they do in "file" view.

bug or feature?

more info please.

does another thumb show instead? (imdb thumb for instance?)
could there be a corrupt thumb perhaps (shouldn't cause them all to turn off)

cheers,

nope - for some movies original images are missing at the imdb end (only info), that's why i placed several jpeg images to my movies directory with extension changed to .tbn. these images show only when i change the view mode to "file". when xbmc is in "title" view only original imdb thumbnails are shown, while the rest show default icon.

yes, been mentioned before by myself and others. i hate it too....
scanned titles saves a image in /thumbs/
if you have custom images in the dir next to the movie they dont get loaded in any of the db views, they just appear in the files view

cant that be changed?

where's the will, there's a way. a bit tricky though. using sqlitebrowser (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/) tweak myvideos3.db by putting a fake url into "movieinfo.strpictureurl". place your thumbnail in the /thumbs dir and naming it in accordance with the "movieinfo.imdbid" column of myvideos3.db.

bollox, i know but works :)

i meant more of a custom thumb check before querying the db.
custom will be loaded before other.

or a button to load custom thumb in the movie detail view and then it will be saved in the db
