Video cover art location?
RoderickGI:
Good. I very specifically differentiated between "Use Image" which appears on single file processing, and "Get Image" which appears on multiple file processing. Different things.
Almost all media center type applications use separate images for display in their 10 foot interfaces, and they get those images from the same or similar sources to MC.
But if you really don't want jpgs in the folders with your videos, there is an alternative. In fact, by default if no image is available MC selects a screenshot from the video to use as a thumbnail. Check the settings at;
"Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Capture video thumbnails at xxx seconds" and also the "Capture television recording thumbnails at yyy seconds" Those are global settings.
That process doesn't put a jpg next to the video file. You will see you can turn that process off in the settings as well.
You can also grab a screen image from a movie at any point by;
Right-click on a playing or paused movie, selecting Window > Use Screen Grab for Thumbnail.
But that puts a jpg next to the video file, and if you delete that jpg, MC reverts to the timed thumbnail grab as above whenever it rebuilds the thumbnail for the video.
There have been a few people that didn't want Cover Art image files next to the video files, and a couple of them admitted it was purely because of their OCD. But the benefits of having Cover Art far outweigh the irritation of having the separate files there, in my opinion, and I don't like clutter either.
Good luck.
RoderickGI:
Note that the "Get Movie & TV Info" function has been improved so that it remembers all settings between runs, and settings used for multiple file lookups are now shared with single file lookups. That should help in the above processes I described.
The improvements will be available in a future public release of MC.

Hi, this is same problem I'm having. I tried JRiver about 5 years ago, stopped after the first use after seeing it downloaded all the cover art for videos in same folder. this is so annoying.
I decided to give JRiver a try again today and same thing still happening.
Anyone know if JRiver has something in the work to fix this ?
Dungho:
Something like how Plex is doing it. Plex does not touch the media folder at all.

Please explain why you think that's a problem.
