I updated to Kodi 19.1.0 recently (I'm using the OSMC build, but the official Estuary Skin) and found that my Thumbnails and Posters for local .nfo files seem to be swapped. It's easy to illustrate using a screenshot:
Here's the contents of the associated nfo file, note that a thumb is specified:
For those wondering what the big deal is here, the problem is that now that all my thumbnails are considered posters, the view and navigation images used by most views in Estuary are all messed up with auto-generated frame images instead of nice descriptive thumbnails. Since this seems like a regression/bug in v19.1.0, how can I help get it fixed going forward?
Here's the contents of the associated nfo file, note that a thumb is specified:
