I have mythtv and its modules mostly installed and working now, however I cant seem to figure out how to make the image gallery display the images without clicking on either the folder, or square box where an image should be.

Isnt there a way to make it automatically display previews or thumbnails of all the pics in a particular directory?

Could be a permissions issue. Does user mythtv have write access to /myth/gallery? Is it a windows share holding the images? If so does this directory allow write access?

yes, that was it! Thank you.
