In the Opacity skin, images named as follows within your Folders containing films will override art from the remote server

poster.jpg - the film poster
fanart.jpg - the background artwork
movieset-poster.jpg - a poster for the film collection > this should be the same for every film in the collection; I assume the application sets it from the last film scanned.
movieset-fanart.jpg -the background artwork for the collection


For TV series
poster.jpg - the programme poster
fanart.jpg - the background artwork
season01-poster.jpg - poster for the first series
season02-poster.jpg - poster for the second series
...etc...
season-all-poster.jpg - poster for the "all" series
season-specials-poster.jpg - poster for the "specials" series
<video filename>-thumb.jpg - a thumbnail image for an individual episode


Notes:
[*]png file also work
[*]if your file has extension .jpeg you need to rename as jpg
[*]the above assumes a one directory per film or TV show - different rules probably apply if you've copied entire DVDs or Bluray discs
[*]to pick up artwork on existing films/programmes you need to go to the information screen and do a rescan of the film/porogramme - just refreshing content won't work. Alternatively you can go into the select artwork screen and navigate to the image manually.


I don't seem to have wiki access to add this information there myself, but it might be helpful to have a page on naming conventions needed there, if someone else has access to add it?

Thanks I’ll add it, we disabled wiki access to avoid spam :)
