The fact that it is not html based means that the user can easily change Plots, Images and Fanart without messing up the main structure. Thumbgen in conjunction with the Mede8er Profile will do all the following for you with the exception of Point4
1) Thumbnail images ideal size = 160 x 237 pixels
2) If you place a Series.jpg image 160 x 237 pixel in each episode folder then it will be applied to all thumbnails in the folder
3) A Folder.jpg 160 x 237 can be used if you want to show a different image from outside the folder
4) Thumbgen will automatically make the correct Episode xml -- basically each video file requires its own xml file
eg
Band Of Brothers_2001 - E01 - Currahee.mkv
Band Of Brothers_2001 - E01 - Currahee.xml
