Ah - we're probably not hitting the magic "refresh me" code is what's wrong. Will fix.
I'll look into lower-casing the art - we must be already doing properties.

Ok, listitem.art(tvshowthumb) is fixed in the above case. I had a look at case-sensitivity, and have confirmed that properties have always been case-sensitive**. Similarly, art will always be case sensitive.
Note that this does not mean that the art name (or property) will always be lower-cased - we can't make that guarantee at present as scripts can set properties (and in the future, art), and we cannot guarantee that. It might be possible to allow everything to be case-insensitive at a lower level if it's deemed essential.
Cheers,
Jonathan
**Note that, due to a coincidence, listitem.property(fanart_image) IS case-insensitive since the change to use listitem.art - it's the only one, however.

Currently the tmdb scraper uses poster for ListItem.Art(thumb) and ListItem.Art(poster) (same with tvdb scraper for tv shows). I thought this could be optimized and I added local poster.jpg and a resized 16:9 fanart (720x405, size could be even smaller) as thumb.jpg. Now I can use ListItem.Art(thumb) for fanart views and the performance is noticeably better compared to ListItem.Art(fanart). Also I can easily reuse those views for episodes since ListItem.Art(thumb) is the 16:9 episode thumbnail. So maybe scrapers could add a resized fanart instead of a poster as thumbnail by default? What do you guys think about that?
Short:
ListItem.Art(thumb) -> 16:9 image (fanart, episode thumb, ...)
ListItem.Art(poster) -> 2:3 image (poster)

+1 Imo it would be even better if ListItem.Art(thumb) would be filled with landscape.jpg first, how folder.jpg works now.

Shouldn't this just wait until we can get ListItem.Art(landscape)?
The only reason it's just banners and posters currently is so it could go in Frodo but the plan is to support more in the future.

Thumb is the same as Art(Poster) for backward compatibility I thought?
