 This is seen with current master.  It has been an issue for well over a
 year as well.  I have seen at least one other person mention this on the
 users list and it was dismissed as a false report.

 When a query to tmdb returns multiple rows for fanart, the last one is
 downloaded and used.  This is the lowest rated from tmdb and should not be
 the one used.

 Simply changing tmdp3.py to use m.images.insert(0,{...}) rather than
 m.images.append({...}) (reverses the sort) for fanart results in the
 proper image being used.  I assume, however, that the fix should actually
 be in myth's code.  Coverart also uses the append method and the first
 item is downloaded in that case.

 On another note, if you reset all metadata for a video, it does not delete
 the existing fanart.  When you then retrieve details, it also does not
 overwrite the existing image.  Unless you manually delete the image, you
 cannot replace it with an updated one. To refresh an image, one has to
 both delete the fanart file and clear their themecache entry which is
 cumbersome.
