Yes, that's correct but the skin is looking directly in the folder for the .jpg! for it to use whatever is in the db you need to have assigned something to $INFO[ListItem.Art(season.poster)], this is done in choose art >> season posters.

And storing your art locally isn't just fallback for some skins today, they reference directly for .jpgs in the relevant folder and this has been in some skins for a long time! You need to have the locally to begin with to be able to load into the db via either AD or manual work!

If this doesn't work then it seems to be a config issue on you side. Sorry.

This is the code use for populating the VAR used for the poster in Tr-panel and several other views. They all use the same VAR:

Code:

<variable name="ListPosterVar">
        <value condition="Stringcompare(ListItem.label,..)">DefaultFolderBack.png</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(genres)">$INFO[ListItem.Label,special://skin/extras/genre/video/icons/,.jpg]</value>
        <value condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(poster))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(poster)]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(episodes) + !IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(season.poster))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(season.poster)]</value>
        <value condition="!IntegerGreaterThan(ListItem.Season,9) + [Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(episodes)]">$INFO[ListItem.Path]$INFO[ListItem.Season,../season0,-poster.jpg]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(episodes)">$INFO[ListItem.Path]$INFO[ListItem.Season,../season,-poster.jpg]</value>
        <value condition="Container.Content(episodes)">$INFO[ListItem.Art(tvshow.poster)]</value>
        <value>$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</value>
    </variable>

4-7 are all connected to episodes.
