Cover Art only works when in movie submenu, not shares view

GregOP · 2008-08-04, 17:59

So I originally installed MP RC2 before I upgraded my HTPC this week and did the update database function and used IMDB/Yahoo IT and most of my movies were found and updated with actors/cover art, the few it didn't find I just easily added by searching and finding the right movie.

Now I just upgraded to a new motherboard and cpu/ram. I reinstalled Vista 32, same OS as before. The problem is I updated the movie database from scratch (everything is shared on the network the same way as before), and now only about 4 out of 50 movies show up with cover art. So if I'm in Big Icon mode/Film Strip mode, they just show the generic icons with no movie cover art. HOWEVER, if I click on the movie and it goes into the sub menu of the movie, it shows the nice big cover art and allows me to select all the different images it has for said movie. It just won't show it one menu up , which is where you REALLY want it to be, since it looks very slick when the Big icons or Film strips show the nice cover art.

Does anyone have any idea why the cover art is only showing in the submenu and not in the main shares view? I've tried using Blue Two wide and the regular skin as well as Project Mayhem 3, and monochrome. They all have the same issue. What gives??

Already reported, just waiting for a fix.

Is there a workaround that we can use in the meantime? Just clicking on the IMDB link while in MP and then going back out doesn't fix it for me like the bug creator mentioned.
