Damian,
Upto you, if it's not urgent just hang on until hopefully Ashley's fix has
been included, otherwise I've uploaded the imdb.pl script right from my
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts if you'd like. If you're on Ubuntu it
should go into that path or perhaps
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts. It's gotta be
"/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts" at end of path either way. Just pop the script
in there and make sure you clear youre ~/.mythtv/mythvideo/ folder of any
.jpg's (all previous posters). Then go to the video manager and try grabbing
the metadata again and check the posters, they should come in right.
