Twonky with XBMC libray

Hello all,
I exported my XBMC database for all my movies as nfo. files, and as far as i know Twonky supports this.
My client end is a computer running XBMC and i am wondering does twonky show all the movie information, actor info, and cover images? and with TV shows does it show each epesiodes plot etc the same way XBMC does when it uses its own database? or would i be better of sharing folders for XBMC?

Also with twonky can i have a seperate folder for Music Videos, Movies, and TV shows which would be set out by title or by Season?

Many Thanks

For images
Twonky will displaly embeded cover art
or will use jpg files in folders for albums

For Data
Twonky will use embed ID3 tags
You can use a variaty of tools to do this, I use mp3tag
I use this for video tagging and cover art info also

there is not automatic collection of data done by twonky
it relies on what exists in the files
if its there it will use it (with exceptions)
