[mythtv-users] getting MythVideo to display TV-episode-subtitle/screenshot rather than show-title/season-cover-art

[Drew Streib]

OK, I figured this out, although I don't see it documented anywhere (I'll look again though):

MythVideo (gallery view) will show episode titles and screenshots for each episode _only_ if the folders are in a format like:

Heroes/Season 1/episodefile

I had changed my directory structure to:

Heroes/S01/episodefile

and that lost the hint that told mythvideo that the file was a tv show and to display episodes&screenies rather than show title&cover art.

So as long as the directory structure includes the explicit "Season xx" convention, things appear to pick up properly again.

After doing some folder reorganization (and I'm sure I must have changed something else), now I just get the show name and cover art.

(The show/season cover art is always displayed for every episode.) The episode name/screenshot are considerably better for browsing episodes within a season and was wondering what extremely simple thing have I done wrong?
