After updating to frodo (a month or two ago), the first time it loaded it showed a progress bar saying something like "Processing Artwork". After this, all the folder art (I hope I am using the right term, I mean the images shown in the DVD cases when you highlight a show in "FANART" vew), has been replaced by the same image as the wide banners. So highlighting any show shows a squashed banner. Also with all my files exported it shows the same image in "banner.jpg" and "folder.jpg". This seems like some kind of bug in the logic dealing with the transition between banners/folders/posters/jpgs/tbns etc which I don't fully understand.
First I tried removing a show from the library, then deleting folder.jpg, then updating the library to bring the show back. The squashed banner remained in the folder art's place.
Then I tried doing the same, removing the show from the library, this time deleting banner.jpg also, then updating the library to bring the show back. Yet, somehow the squashed banner still remains even though that image isn't even in the folder anymore under any name.
I even tried cleaning the library after removing the show and deleting the files, hoping to get the banners out of the internal db, but this doesn't work either.
I was hoping it would be as "simple" as removing all my sources, cleaning the library, doing a find-delete on all folder.jpg files in my exports, and then readding the sources and updating the library. But if it doesn't work on one show I don't expect it would work on all of them.
The only way to fix it seems to be doing a "refresh" in "TV Show Information" and reloading all the data for the show from scratch, but I have over 200 shows and it would take days to do that on all the shows. So does anyone have any suggestions on a procedure which might fix this?
