I've compared the Leia and the Matrix DialogVideo.xml file by using WinMerge. The differences are huge, so I'm pretty sure using the Matrix DialogVideo.xml file under Leia will cause other issues. I already found one: the text label for Extended Info button has been changed into Hide Studio for Boxsets.

But your "solution" might help @latts9923 to address the issue. No idea why your IMDb top 250 icons won't show. Sometimes deleting simplecache.db will help. Sometimes not.

Yup, tried all the usual suspects, cache, thumbs, textures.db, delete and reinstall icon pack, blah, blah, blah... anyway it's not a big deal I've lived without Top 250 for this long without even realizing it worked for TV on Leia. I'll get back to it sometime later.

You are correct it is an overstatement to declare my little experiment a "solution" but after a week or more of head banging to finally have even a vague direction to head was/is an ease of frustration. If you know what I mean? It's more like a band-aid than a cure. You're right it probably will break other things but so far for my purposes it accomplishes what I need. But there are obvious differences in the Leia and Matrix versions some which I've previously pointed out to Latts in the Matrix thread.

Anyway even baby steps forward are better than spinning the wheels.
