With the recent builds of XBMC there are some issues with posters/thumbnails in the info dialogs for movies and tv shows as first mentioned here whereby there is a quick 'flash' of the poster and then it simply displays a white screen where the poster should be:



A quick fix is to edit the DialogVideoInfo.xml and comment the sections below. Depending on what flavor of Aeon you are using, this should start around line 91 or so.

Code:

<!-- <control type="largeimage">
            <description>Cover image</description>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>486</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <texture>$INFO[listitem.path]movie.tbn</texture>
            <aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
            <fadetime>500</fadetime>
            <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(videotv)</visible>
        </control>
        <control type="largeimage">
            <description>Cover image</description>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>486</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <texture>$INFO[listitem.path]folder.jpg</texture>
            <aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
            <fadetime>500</fadetime>
            <visible>Skin.HasSetting(videotv)</visible>
        </control>
        <control type="largeimage">
            <description>Cover image</description>
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>486</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <texture>$INFO[listitem.path]poster.jpg</texture>
            <aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
            <fadetime>500</fadetime>
            <visible>Skin.HasSetting(videotv)</visible>
        </control> -->

After commenting these sections, xbmc will use the cached thumbnail as normal.

Hope this helps

It's already fixed in SVN anyway (r23145)

That's the beauty of the "new posts" search button.
