If you already use XBMC, and [http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Video_Library indexed all the videos Details on your Movies share] in it, you can export your library using Settings > Video > Library > Export video library. Then indicate you want to export 'separate' files, instead of a 'single file' export, and that you want how to export display custom thumbnails and fanart. This will generate filename.tbn files for all your movies, and folder.jpg for all your TV Shows folders. If you don't use XBMC, you can manually create filename.tbn files (in JPG or PNG format) for your movies, videos and place folder.jpg files (in JPG or PNG format) in your folders. You can also use applications that can catalog your videos, and export thumbnails be found in the proper format.[http://wwwcode.billyad2000google.co.ukcom/ Media Companion] and [http:p/videos5/www.24hourloop.comwiki/projects/mediareader Media ReaderCustomThumbnails CustomThumbnails page on Videos5 wiki] are such applications.

If you store your videos somewhere else than the default /var/hda/files/movies, you'll need to change that path in the Videos5 settings. Execute those two commands, from a terminal:
