    Folders in WMC wont show jpeg

    Hi. I'm a newbie. I have been working on wirelessly Streaming dvd from my laptop to my TV using my xbox360 as an extender and Linksys wrt54g. I have been successful at Streaming in full sd quality, with excellent sound & picture almost no pauses and almost never crash (depends on how many other users (3) in the house are on line and how much bandwidth they are using.

    My problem is that I put each mpg in a separate folder with a jpeg of the cover pic and then right click on the folder and select the customize tab. I select choose file and go to pictures and select the same jpeg or select the one that's already there. Not all, but about 1/2 of the folders don't display the jpeg! The ones that do work great with wmc and the ones that don't are blank but you can select the folder and it streams perfectly. I have tried every way I can dream up to do this and no success. If anyone has fixed this problem please share with me and I will be happy to share the methods I use to make this work. Thank you.

    Hi.

    For WMC to display the icon, you need to ensure that the jpeg is named 'folder' within the film directory. If you do this, there is no need to use the customise tab.
