WD TV Live & WD MYbook Live - Display Thumbnails?

[ChopsMcgee]

Im sure this has been asked many many times but I have tried searching and cant seem to get it to work.

I have things setup as follows -

WD TV Live   -  >  Ethernet  -  >  Wifi Router

&

WD MYBook Live (2TB HDD)  -  >  Ethernet  -  >  Wifi Router

The player is connected to the HDD via the ethernet network.  I cannot for the life of me get the movies, folders etc to display a thumbnail image.

I have tried folder.jpg, I have tried filename.jpg / filename.mkv matches, I have even tried filename.without.spaces.jpg / filename.without.spaces.mkv.

Can this be done over a networked drive, is this my issue?

Or do I need special software to integrate the filename with a jpg a bit like with itunes or something?

thanks in advance

That kind of helped.  Does each movie have to be in its own folder for it to work?

At the moment I have each video in its folder but under category - ie

HD Movies

TV Series

Mobile Movies

The problem is in folder view it will not show the thumbnail, and in view all it shows literally everything?

Any hints?
