Update: I have been making changes to the script to try and get it to work on Frodo, but I am not sure it is possible at the moment.
The way this addon works is by copying the selected artwork to the thumbnail cache associated with the movie set, rather than changing the database to point to new artwork files. The problem in Frodo however is it looks like the way images are loaded from the cache has changed. If the cached thumb doesn't match the source image, it isn't used. So when you first scan the movies into the database, artwork for the set will be assigned from one of the movies in the set. If that artwork is not updated, it doesn't matter what I write to the cache for the movie set, it keeps showing the artwork for the movie originally assigned to the set.

The only way around this I see would be update the database itself containing the source filenames of image artwork assigned to the movie set (rather than just the temporary cache). But the JSON-RPC API doesn't have a method to write back new values for Movie Set artwork, only read.
