I have many music video files using "-poster.jpg" to display thumbnail in icons/wall views in default skin in Kodi 18. But it doesn't work in Kodi 19. I have to change the view to fanart view in order to display the thumbnail (in Amber skin for example). Is there any setting I need to change to make it work? Thanks
I checked your database and noticed the artwork was missing as expected. I then unzipped your movie folders, added them to my own Source.
I scanned the two movies and surprisingly the poster was missing for the second movie. In fact, it was also missing for the first movie, but that one was a little more complex.
It is obvious that I have completely forgotten about this requirement (or maybe this has changed with the recent improvements in artwork handling). Anyway, Artwork names are case sensitive and must be lowercase. This is one I have to remember from now on. Maybe I have never noticed as I always name my artwork with lowercase.
1.(2013).Dvdrip.X264-Walmart-Poster - your original name which did not work
1.(2013).Dvdrip.X264-Walmart-poster - which does work.
The reason it "seemed" to work for the first movie (in fact it did not work) is that there was a valid artwork link in the nfo file. So when it failed to find the correct poster and fanart artwork, it followed the link in the nfo file and downloaded the same poster. It did not work for the second movie as the artwork link was dead, as you later discovered.
Make the change to your file name and it should work when you rescan it.
