Feature Request: Folder thumbnail in folder view

Server Version#: 1.19.4.2935
Player: Windows / Android

Hi guys,
I just switched from Emby Premium to Plex Premium for performance reasons and now am very unhappy to find that I don’t have any folder preview thumbnails in the folder view.

Actually the folder view is the main view for many of my personal media libraries.

As you are generating preview pictures for folders for the other views already. Please give us the option to show these preview thumbnails in the folder view as well.

Best regards
aCid

There’s a feature suggestion for that.

Custom Images in place of Folder Icon

I use Plex for my home movies as well as for my collection of Disney animated shorts form the 40’s - 60’s I have both collections organized in folders. It would be great if I could specify an image to be used in place of the folder icon when browsing by folder in Plex Player (Also to set the default to the folder view) Sort of like the poster shown for a TV season.

However… folder view has so far not proven to be the main focus for Plex.

Any news on that topic?

I’m not aware of any news/updates/activities/…
Plex isn’t usually communicating their development roadmap.

I simply find it hard to believe this feature is absent from library view and there’s no workaround…

This is absolutely essential for folders of miscellaneous videos

HI there.

I also organize plex by folder…and would like to see the thumbnail for each folder.
Plex should listen users, even for “little things” like this…what is important for some, isn’t for others…but all small things together could make Plex even great.

+1 need thumbnails for folders

[silversurger_gmx_net]

That would really be a nice feature.

I’d really like to see this feature as folders help to organise the library and without thumbnail the Plex library merely looks like a file browser than a library

I strongly support this new feature to be enabled.
