latest pre-release - no fanart posters in My Videos

[gveres]

I am having a problem where I am not getting the fanart posters displayed in My Videos. I am getting the backgrounds displayed but I can't for the life of me get the posters displayed. I actually want it the other way around. I find the posters drastically speed up the navigation (over a .jpg sitting beside the video) and the backgrounds are very distracting.

I have attached a snapshot of my screen. You can see that the movie changeling has fanart because there is a background showing. But the thumbnail is a grab from the movie file.

I think this started happening when I moved up to the latest beta.

Anybody else seeing this? Any suggestions?

In the fanart options I have everything enabled. I have the following versions from my Settings screen:

SageTV v6.6.2.218
Java: 1.6.0_17
MC: 6.3.9b pre-release 22
sagemc.jar: 6.3.8
df_sageutils.jar: 2.2
phoenix.jar: 1.44
STV File: SageMC_6_3_9b_22-1.xml

Any pointers on where to look would be great.

Thanks
Greg

Ok I debugged this a little bit - well debugged might be a bit of an overstatement.

I had taken a backup of my SageTV directory before re-installing BMT and the latest pre-release of SageMC. I was running sagemc.jar version 6.3.8 and SageMC STV Version 6.3.9a.

With this combination everything was running really well. The posters were showing up for the videos in My Videos and the UI was fast.

Tonight I reverted back to the backup and did the following steps:

1) installed Phoenix API v1.44 - everything still worked
2) installed the SageMC pre-release 6.3.9b_22

when I installed the pre-release version, I no longer got posters. I am assuming that I am missing some component or it is out of date.

Mike, any pointers?

I was happy enough with 6.3.9a but I wanted a way to get fanart, either automatically or manually.
