I have followed much of the great advice in these posts from long ago to display my movies with the bonus features/extras in a group beside the movie in Theater View.

How To: Organize Episodic Movies for Theater View: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=78198.0

I've tagged:

* The movie and its extras with the [Series] tag populated with [Name][(Year)]. Example: "Code 8 (2019)"
* Extras with [Media Sub Type]=Other
* Extras with [Season]=Extras. [Season] is blank for the movie.
I'm using 2 expressions to group the movie and extras:

* TVInfo(SeriesDisplay)
* If(IsEmpty([Season]),TVInfo(SeriesDisplay),[Season]) to group the movie and extras by [Series]It works, but isn't as "pretty" as I would like it.

1st question (from the First Screen jpg): When a movie grouping contains extras, how can I force it to display the movie cover art on top of the "stacked" images? "Code 8" is as I would like it to display. "Free Guy" ... not so much.

2nd question (from the Second Screen jpg: When I drill into a movie grouping, how can I force the movie to display first and the extras to follow?

Can anyone answer this question?

I figured out the 2nd question: I assign a date to the Extras that is after the release date of the movie and sort by Date.

JimH:
I think you can right click on a file and say use as cover or something like that.

@jimh - Where would that option be? I can't find it.

If there isn't a way to do this, could the functionality be added?
