This interface is what is found in the Homebrew Channel and a similar interface was first released with the Homebrew Launcher. This would make Thumbnail/Title Display much easier and you could probably get the code from some of the folks over at #wiidev, since they were the onces who made the Homebrew Channel after all.
I don't think people want to have to put media files in separate folders with xmls and icons(especially if they have a lot of files and want to stream files from the computer) thats NOT a good feature for a media player.
