I tried changing the Titan theme from MePo to default and when I restart Mediaportal, then hover over TV Shows, the fanart comes through without any issues. Then I changed back to MePo and the issue returns. I noticed on the default theme it had to do an Inital Scrape.

You could try PureVisionHD 1080 with comfortable BasicHome Editor

I don't see a problem, fanart found, recent fanart for the series too.

I'll think about what the problem is, if you load Media Portal and wait 30+ seconds do they show up the same way?

I tried changing the Titan theme from MePo to default and when I restart Mediaportal, then hover over TV Shows, the fanart comes through without any issues. Then I changed back to MePo and the issue returns.

That theme doesn't use Fanart from LMH, I believe only my theme does.

PS: Try replacing the files in the MePo theme folder with the ones in the attachment, this is from my work HTPC which is used every day.

Yes, on restart of MediaPortal and wait 30 seconds it does show fanart.
Once a TV Series fanart image is active, going into a plugin resets the 30 second timer to change the image.
This is different to Moving Pictures, where returning from a plugin causes the fanart to instantly change.

Ah, I thought default theme was using P1.L23.TVSeriesActiveLatests.xml. Still learning.

Tried those files and the issue remains.

Been testing BasicHome.Fanart.Selected.xml

#fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.backdrop1.any - Has Issues with empty value on startup.
#fanarthandler.tvseries.backdrop1.any - Works perfectly.
#latestMediaHandler.tvseries.latest1.fanart - Works perfectly.

Workaround is to change this:

eq(#fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.available,'true'),#fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.backdrop1.any,

to this:

and(eq(#fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.available,'true'),neq(#fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.backdrop1.any,'')),#fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.backdrop1.any,

With that change, anytime the image path is missing for latest backdrop, it uses any backdrop.

What makes #fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.available active?
Wondering if you can remember if it's a switch, or the new episode indicator or maybe it's just the latest x number of episodes.

Has Issues with empty value on startup

At startup FH makes procedures and builds lists of Fanarts, LMH also builds lists of latests of elements, as soon as it has built them it reports that it is ready, FH requests these lists from it and builds latests of Fanarts and fills in the corresponding fields. This takes time, but I've never noticed that it takes more than a couple of seconds.

With that change, anytime the image path is missing for latest backdrop, it uses any backdrop.

I thought I already did that, I'll have to check it out.

What makes #fanarthandler.tvseries.latests.available active?

If FH got the list of Fanarts from LMH then this property is True, if not then it is False.
