The problem is the Folder / Subfolder Structure
a folder.jpg must reside in a folder that contains media files
Thor The Dark World ----- Main Folder
of this Main Folder below
VIDEO_TS -------------------- Sub Folder with DVD files
folder.jpg ---------------------- folder.jpg
VIDEO_TS.jpg --------------- Won’t display either
Thor The Dark World ------ Won’t display either
The folder.jpg and the other .jpg’s will not display since there are No Media Files present (a “Sub Folder” is not a “Media File”)
also placing the folder.jpg into the Sub Folder will not display when browsing through the Main Folder (the level is one folder too deep)
*WORKAROUND*
Ditch the Subfolders ! ie. Rename your VIDEO_TS Folder to the Name of the Movie … it will still play perfectly fine
Then inside this folder … place a folder.jpg (and to be 100% sure place another .jpg and name it VTS_01_0.jpg)
So, you end up with this …
Thor The Dark World ----- Main Folder
<contents> of this Main Folder below
folder.jpg
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_0.jpg
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_0.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB
etc … etc …
P.S. another “Workaround” but looks a bit unsightly
Thor The Dark World ----- Main Folder
of this Main Folder
VIDEO_TS -------------------- Sub Folder with DVD files
folder.jpg ---------------------- folder.jpg
folder.avi ---------------------- this is a “fake / dummy” media file (create it notepad … save and rename it to .avi)
Personally, whatever DVD i rip now … i use *.ISO it’s a lot less hassle … and for my old collection of VIDEO_TS on HDD … i’ve converted them to *.ISO using this handy program Folder2Iso (click to download)
