In my videos folder I created 2 top Level Folders, 1 called “Movies” and the Other Called “TV”. My Question is, is there a way to specify a Fanart Background and Icon for these folders? I would like to use custom Backgrounds and Icons for these specific folders…And to take it a step farther, if I were to Create Genre Folders under “Movies” can I give manually give them fan art images to show?

Hmmm this doesn’t seem to work for me… I just get an entry in my list for “Folder”… I have tried both jpg and png files…

Ideas?
