Hi, I have movies eg movie.mkv with the matching pictures for the covers named eg movies.jpg in the same folder. When i browse the folder all working 100% shows the mkv file and the movie cover.

The covers are thumbnail size when using PS3, I wanted to see them larger If i click the cover when browsed in the pictures folders. However when I go to the pictures folders I don't see those movies covers at all. However I do see other .jpg pictures which are not associated with any movie.

How can I see the movies covers in the pictures folder, Is there a special setting I'm not doing?

You can't. They are intentionally hidden so that they shouldn't appear as normal media files, since they serve a specific function of being a thumbnail for another media file. The "real problem" here is that the PS3 doesn't allow you to view the thumbnails in a bigger size.

Thanks for quick reply now I finally know. I've been trying to get it to work for a year tried different UMS versions, testing various options, saving .jpg as many different compressions etc. Now I have peace of mind.
