I think you would have to edit the database to point to exactly where the pictures are, I am not in front of my box right now, but i can look later

Here's what I did....two steps

1) set video_img_path in /var/www/config/config.php by replacing the old line withthe new line
Code:
Old line:   define('video_img_path', '');
New line:   define('video_img_path', 'images/MythVideo');


2) create a link from /var/www/images/MythVideo to the directory with the images files. my setup put the images in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo. To create the link use the following command:

Code:
ln -s /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo /var/www/images/MythVideo

works like a charm. all the files were already in place, the only thing missing was the path in the config file, which btw is called "conf.php" on my setup, and then, after creating the link, all the covers are now showing up on the web page.

thanks for the tip.

now i'd like to take snapshots of videos that i cant get covers on the web, and put them in there, but how do i find the name i should give them?

i see they all have numbers as name, probably linked to something, somewhere, but i dont know where to look.
