@braz - It's not really a scraper or a core issue. The scrapers do it to avoid breaking skins because many skins treat ListItem.Icon as if it were a poster, and skins do this because add-ons don't correctly fill the artwork types (so it's all a bit of a feedback loop). This is because, prior to Frodo, ListItem.Thumb was used for banners, posters, and thumbs depending on content type. ListItem.Icon is basically a variable that checks ListItem.Art(thumb) and if its not there it uses ListItem.ActualIcon. It is just one of those things that requires a hard-line stance to fix but the benefit is minimal compared to the cost. Generated thumbs are usually low quality, so no one is really that interested in using them over fanart for movies.
@Blurayx - Yeah, since I added support for it, I have switched to using it.
Are you looking for "Recently Added Episodes"? That is under the "Episodes" section, not the "TvShows" section.
I did just add a recent tvshows widget too though - this will display tvshows that have with recent episodes -- this is probably actually more useful because if you add a whole season you will only see one poster for the whole show rather than every episode, which prevents spoilers.
