Sure - apologies for top posting.

Odd - my folder structure does obey the requirements, it would seem,
but does not display screenshots.

For example:

/mnt/store/videos/TV/Dollhouse/Season 1/Dollhouse.S01E01.avi
/mnt/store/videos/TV/Dollhouse/Season 2/Dollhouse.S01E02.avi

Does not display the screenshots. Not a showstopper by any means, but
has me scatching my head. Changing the view back to  TV/FIlm does how
the screenshots.
