Hi everyone,

I setup my Asrock ION with Ubuntu and XBMC about 8 months ago and
despite taking ages, with a lot of head banging against the wall (due to
me not speaking linux properly) it was so worth it.

I am now ready to dive deeper into XBMC and start to do a bit more
advanced (but hopefully basic enough) things and first off is to try
and figure out how I get the Video image to display, like in all
the screenshot of skins that pulls eg. a TV Show graphics and
show this as a part of the XBMC skins "look and feel" for when you
flip through the videos etc.

I read somewhere that this can be added in a manually created playlist
but I wonder if there is another easier way of letting XBMC know to
look for a image in a folder instead?

I am using my laptop (PC) To download videos etc and then simply transfer
those files to my Ubuntu / XBMC computer via network / Samba. Ideally
I would love if I can get XBMC to look in the video folder for an image so
I can just transfer it over the network so it gets automatically reckognised.

I have no problem setting up an using a fixed filename or folder structure for
this as I can easily handle this from my laptop (PC).

Is something like that possible or is there an easier way of achieving this?

Now that you are more comfortable you should be ready to start using the library mode.

Follow the wiki from this page : Adding videos to the library (wiki) , there is a menu on the right hand side that takes you through the different steps required.
Be sure to read every page before changing stuff around, and make sure you understand the concepts.

Have fun
