If it scraped a poster, it will return a poster. If it scraped a banner, it will return a banner. I'm not sure why you're seeing a difference between 1.9.2 and 1.9.5... there really shouldn't be.
One question.. do you have a textures.xbt in the media directory of the skin? The textures have changed, and I have seen odd behavior if this file isn't either updated to reflect the current state of the world or removed entirely. If it exists, you might try removing it.
For clarification about how banners and posters are handled in Metropolis: it assumes the scraped image (ListItem.thumb) is a poster. In banner views, it will look for banner.jpg in the TV Show's root folder if you have the option selected in the Metropolis settings. It will never use banner.jpg for the poster image. The only way a banner can be shown in the poster's place is if XBMC is returning a banner image in the ListItem.thumb. Make sure that option is selected (Settings->Metropolis->Scripts/Extras->Use 'banner.jpg' for Banner Views).
Thanks for the advice! I deleted the textures file, which helped somewhat, and then also deleted any existing images in my TV Shows directory and have started adding everything again from scratch with "Prefer Posters" enabled. And it's all working correctly (so far). Thanks again, and keep up the great work!
