    The WD TV displays thumbs embedded in mp4 files. I haven't tried it, but the new beta firmware allegedly supports more thumbnail files.

  3. From the Western Digital Beta release notes.....

    For Folder Thumbnails:
    Music:
    1. Display folder.JPG (the image file must be named “folder.JPG” or thumbnail will not function)
    2. If no folder.JPG file is found, display the first album art image (.MP3 with embedded..JPG)
    3. If no album art is available, display the first .JPG in the folder
    Photo:
    1. Display folder.JPG
    2. If no folder.JPG file is found, display the first photo in the folder
    Video:
    1. Display folder.JPG
    2. If no folder.JPG file is found, display the first cover art (.MP4 with embedded .JPG)
    3. If no cover art is available, display the first photo in the same folder as the video to be played
    For File Thumbnails:
    Music:
    1. Display album art (.MP3 file with embedded .JPG)
    2. If no album art is available, display the image file with the same name as the audio file to be played. (for
    example, song.wav will be associated with song.JPG)
    Photo:
    1. Display thumbnail
    Video:
    1. Display .MP4 with embedded .JPG
    2. Display image file associated with the video file to be played (for example video.mkv will be associated
    with video.JPG)

    Plus improved navigation for folders or files.

    Hope this helps.
