Answer:

If the video files are assigned into a category in Movie/TV shows type , these files will be processed with corresponding online databases. (eg IMDB/TMDB/TVDB). If the search result is valid in an online database,Video Station downloads the Movie/TV show info like Title,Summary,Poster,Year from the online database and applies the info to the file. Therefore you can see the Movie/TV shows Poster in the Video Station while navigating. The behavior is like to assign video files into the default categories: Movie/TV shows.

If the video files are assigned into a category in General type. These files won't be processed with an online resource.The behavior is like to assign video files into default Home Videos/Music Videos/Karaoke categories..
