    Oh I didn't know the type mattered in folder view!
    It was "mixed movies and shows", and I just tried with "home videos and photos" too but it's the same.

    I still haven't managed to make it work, but I did find a few things I missed :

    Very stupidly, I had forgotten to check the "Save artwork in media folders" option. So I did that, and it created thumbnails named "videoname-poster.jpg" (the thumbnails taken from somewhere in the middle of videos, which I don't want). I thought I could just delete them and replace them with the images I wanted, correctly named "videoname-poster.jpg" instead of "videoname.jpg" this time, but it didn't work. Once again all the videos have the same thumbnail (a different one this time, not the pufferfish). Even after scanning the folder again. And if I refresh all metadata including images, my images are overridden by the default thumbnail.
