I use a dynamic DNS service to get my own nice-ish URL (for example genericusername.dyndns.org) and have the client installed on my HTPC to update my IP whenever it changes, as it is not static and my stupid ISP won't let me buy one.
Then I edited my /etc/hosts file for computers on my local network to map the local IP address of my server (e.g. 192.168.0.10) to genericusername.dyndns.org. This means that typing genericusername.dyndns.org from will actually request 192.168.0.10.
Then, when entering settings for any module into Maraschino, instead of entering 192.168.0.10 under hostname/IP, I just enter genericuser.dyndns.org. This way it works perfectly on both local external networks.
Apologies if you're already familiar with this technique and are experiencing a different problem, it's the only thing I could think of that might be causing it.
If you are in fact experiencing a different problem, do you have any more useful info that might be helpful? Can you use Firebug or Chrome Inspector to look at these broken image thumbnails? What is in the img src attribute? What happens if you try to open one of these images directly in the browser?
Thanks for your reply. We basically have the same setup with one small, but probably important difference. Maraschino und XBMC do not run on the same machine, so while Maraschino can be accessed through genericuser.dyndns.org, XBMC is accessed via genericuser.dyndns.org/XBMC. I believe that the link below may indeed fix my problem and I will try once I am back home.

Haven't tried it yet, but there is hope.
If it does work, I am still confused why the issue is only the posters and not the actual recently added movies and other XBMC related stuff.
Anyhow, let me give it try later and report back!
