Adding Custom Cover Art

To display custom cover art for any local series in your library and catalog grids:

• Place an image named cover.jpg or cover.png directly inside the root folder of that series.
• Example: Wammy/local/Vinland Saga/cover.jpg.
• Wammy will automatically cache and display this image as the thumbnail for the title.

  "genre": [

}
