Use this link:

I'll try to find some time to test further today. In my Videos directory
I have 2 symbolic links pointing to directories containing videos. In
most of all the items of the grid the same (not generic) cover was
displayed. If I tried to change the cover of one movie (glass icon), it
changed for all the others.

Hehe yes it's not always easy to dig in the mass of widgets we have
spread in some places ;) This is something that will change as we get
more contributors doing UI stuff.

Yeah well ;) As a first step I think I'll continue in the "filename
cleaning" + regexes match direction. But you're right, maybe in the next
step it would be interesting to allow the user to directly select the
kind of content in his media-sources directories.

I don't think that's an issue.
