All of my video covers are automatically imported from Personal Video Database, so I may not understand how this works. But I see there's a Series sub-folder under the Cover Art folder (the location of which you set in Options). I'm sure if you place any image named with a series there, it will be used. As for episode images, I don't expect to see those until a meta data retrieval system is implemented.

Will get covert from the internet be changed to go in the folder where I nominated.
I get all my info in the office and work through the network so putting the cover on my office machine is a no go.

In addtion to the episoide Name, I would like to see either the "episode Series/Number" or a "check mark" for when the episode has been watched.

I really don't like the way it currently works, but you can build a custom file caption. What I don't like is the lack of any building tools - it all has to be done as a text entry and it can get very complex very fast. This is my current one (very much a work in progress), but it displays different data for Audio vs TV Show vs Music Video vs everything else. The TV Show logic currently puts a bullet point in front of unwatched episodes.
If(isequal([Media Type],Audio,1),[Track #] [Name] - [Artist],If(isequal([Media Sub Type],TV Show,1),If(isequal([Number Plays],1,3),•,)[Episode] [Name] [Date],If(isequal([Media Sub Type],Music Video,1),[Artist]: [Name],[Name] /([Year]/))))

I wonder what you mean by "building tools." it's difficult to imagine anything that would handle the capabilities of the Expression Language.
I find it helpful (and usually essential) to use Expression Columns in Standard View to build and test captions. I use separate columns to test bits of code (e.g., getting the syntax of an unfamiliar function correct) and copy those to another containing the entire expression (e.g., where there might be complex if-then logic).

As I said this works great but it puts the cover art in the wrong place.
