Hello all,

Not sure if this has been discussed but I am not sure the proper name for it so I am having issues finding any info.

I am looking to add custom cover art for my movies in the files app on the ipad pro. For example. I have avengers in the files app and I would lime to add the cover art / movie poster to the file for it to make it easier and nicer to find in the files. Is this possible?

Thank for the help. I hope this makes sense.

I know what you are looking for but I don’t think there is a way in Files to do that - it usually requires an app specifically targeting multimedia, e.g. Infuse, nPlayer.

I did just the opposite - dumped Infuse for nPlayer as nPlayer has audio and video controls that Infuse doesn't.

Umm.. why not use both? nPlayer does well with streaming to TVs... but I prefer using Infuse to watch on the iPad.

Why? nPlayer does everything I need and does it well. I used Infuse for quite some time before I switched and I don't miss it.

I guess I'm finicky. Infuse has a well-made interface... from the poster-style art work and how the information is displayed.

The poster icon in better in Infuse but as I mentioned, I like the more extensive playback controls in nPlayer Also, within the metadata I can open up the supplied link to the movie's entry in The Movie DB for more extensive info.
