Local Metadata: Why no Front Row support?

Question about easing conversion from Front Row to Plex
Hello folks, I'm new here but I did search this forum for references to Apple's Front Row product and more particularly to the metadata file used by Front Row to display cover art for a movie, which is always named "Preview.jpg".

Going through the agent configuration instructions I found a list of file names Plex would recognize as cover art if found in a folder containing a film, in particular a folder containing a VIDEO_TS folder. Preview.jpg wasn't on the list.

Would anyone mind me adding that? I might go a step further and suggest I add a feature allowing the user to specify the name of cover art files as a configuration option, but that would probably be overkill. I imagine there may be 10's of thousands of existing Front Row users that have spent a great deal of time collecting cover art and putting it in Preview files. It seems a shame to waste all that effort.

If someone could point me to the relevant code I'd be happy to make the change and submit it for approval.

Regards,
Scott.
