@Groguuu , it seems that the video you are playing does not have a poster or thumbnail loaded into the db. Amber allows you to decide what artwork to show in the OSD. You can configure this here:
When you click on that, you get a dialog that lets you select the artwork type, like this:
The default is Poster/Thumb. That is why I am saying that your video does not have a poster or thumbnail loaded in the db. You can check this by going to the video info dialog for your video, clicking on Extras, and then on Choose Art. You should see something like this:
As you can see from the above, I do have a thumbnail for that episode, so, in the OSD (with Poster/Thumb as the artwork type), I get this:
If your video is an episode from your library, and you have not selected another artwork type for the OSD, Amber will look for a thumbnail first; if there is no thumbnail, it will look for the tvshow poster; if there is no tv show poster, then it will show the episode icon, which is, as in your screenshot, the dfault video cover image.
If you have the setting "Episodes use Poster" enabled, then Amber will look for the season poster first, then for the tv show poster if not season poster; if no season poster, then it will show the icon.
If the video is from live tv (PVR), then Amber will look for the icon provided by your PVR backend. If none is provided, it will show the video icon.
So, if playing videos from your library, just make sure that you have artwork loaded for that video.
