What are the freeware programs that people are using to download the images?

@EVOII,

I have the same problem, but when I use an older build they show up perfectly! (I have more than one XBMP's on my xbox) so maybe it's something in the build you are using?!?

I can't get thumbnails to show up over a stream either. If I put the thumbnails in XBMP's Thumbs folder (on the Xbox), it works, but if I put the covers in the same folder that the album's folder is in (e.g. i have the album /Albums/albumname/, then I name the thumbnail /Albums/albumname.tbn), it won't work. Anyone got some kind of a work-around?
BTW, the reason I don't just put the covers on the Xbox is that the album folder names have too many characters for me to be able to have that same name for the thumbnail, because of the limitations of the FATx filesystem.

EDIT: Never mind.. It seems to be a problem with XBMSP. It works over XNS. Hope this will change in the future.

OK, I'm going to try both the complex and the latest CVS build and let you know if any of those do the same thing.. (not showing thumbs over relax).

The one that does show the thumbs is 2.3 May 19th build and 2.3 April 24th Build... Those are the ones I still have on my xbox and they work just fine, so it's not a relax problem!

Same effect, really strange.. EVOII would it be possible for you to try out an 2.3 build?!? If so we could try to pinpoint the problem...

Hi peeps, dunno if I can help you out here, but I experience the same type of problems as you have.
I'm running XBMP CVS 7-19-03, and streaming via ccxstream 1.0.15 (XBMSP in other words).
I've tried the same thing as you, putting the .tbn-file outside the folder like one should, but it doesn't seem to see it at all or it just ignores it....

However, during some research I found a version change doc by complex stating that they have added the <thumbnails>-tag, so I went in and checked that in config.xml, and the default value for it was e:\apps\xbmp\thumbs. So, I ftp'd the thumbnail files I had created into this folder on the box, and voila! XBMP sees the files and gives be a nice icon for the folder.
So it sort of seems to me like this is some undocumented feature or whatever, could there be a switch that could be used to set XBMP to look for thumbs in the actual folder you are browsing or that you have all your thumbs on one location?
It works fine, but it seems like a hassle to do this for each and every album you have, to ftp the thumbnail that is.

Cheers!
