        @retropiecase I think that depends on the theme. The default theme ("carbon") only shows one or the other, but I have seen one that show a box art and a screenshot at the same time, so it might be possible to find or make one (or maybe even that one, if you switch it to video mode) that shows a vid and box art together too.

          I used SkyScraper and then ScreenScraper as a source. SkyScrper can be found in Opt packages. You need to ensure that you enable video download and there is also an option to remove the data in () in the titles.

          You will end up with something like the following:

          After a few seconds on the that thumb, the video will start.

          Decent tutorial on the app:
