It's possible.....just change the skin to "AeonKnox" for example and for the library view select "Showcase". Then you will get a cover view in your library and if you select one of those "covers" the movie should be played.

Thanks, I tried kodi 15 and 16 alpha, both said installation failed AeonKnox. I even delete all .kodi setting and reinstall, same problems.

This might be the most confused I have ever been by a question on here.
Are you serious? You just pretty much described what Kodi is. It doesn't matter what theme you use, go to the cover view, and if you don't like the covers scraped, change them manually.

OK. let me rephrase the question:
1) I have thousands of videos , say abc1.mp4, hello2.mp4, dumb.mp4............. all filename are different. Only extension is the same.
For each videos, I grab coverart manually from google and save it as jpg format. So, for video abc1.mp4, there is abc1.jpg in the same directory.
All these thousands of videos and its cover art .jpg and scattered in different HDD and directories.
/media/Movies1/stupid1.mp4 stupid1.jpg
/media/Movies10/hello1.mp4 hello1.jpg
2) What I did is I wrote a perl script which will automatically generate a html file. It only show all the cover art image e.g. stupid1.jpg, hello1.jpg, and <a href= will the that video stupid1.mp4, ....> so when I click on any of those image, it will play that video.
<clarification: say I have 1000 videos, the html will show a table of 10 columns x 100 rows of fixed-size images and each image point link to a video>
3) My question is can we do that in Kodi? and how?
4) then one person reply telling me that Aeon skin can do that.
5) I tried to install that skin, but installation fail in several attempts;
a) fresh install; apt-get purge kodi* and then remove any .kodi directory. apt-get install kodi stuff and try to add that skin -> failed in Kodi 15.
b) same as above but use Kodi 16 alpha.
Clear?
