It's not my area of expertise, but I've seen posts on this issue in other forums; I'm simply relaying what I've read.

Apparently, the PS3 requires art to be embedded in the media file. If you have a Windows computer, you can use MP3Tag to do this; the relevant folder.jpg can be the source.

It seems that there are also limitations on the size of image allowed (this is a common issue with renderers), but the posts I have seen are not very explicit on what the limit is. I'd try your existing folder.jpg images to see if they work and only experiment with smaller sizes if you encounter problems.

Incidentally, I doubt that this is a MinimServer issue as such. MinimServer will work with a range of album art options; it looks at the embedded art first.
