It sounds like you do not have any artwork. Or does the artwork appear in
other themes?

Interestingly I hadn't noticed but I have this same issue. On both a
combined BE/FE and a FE.

I toggled to 'Blue Abstract' theme and started scrolling through programs
(which initially had no artwork) and after a short  delay (like a short
"downloading" delay) the artwork started popping up (but only on the
programs that I scrolled through). Jump back to 'Mythbuntu' theme and it now
displays the artwork that appeared while scrolling in 'Blue Abstract', but
no new images are coming through. Repeated and scrolled through a few more
programs in 'Blue Abstract' and same outcome with additional artwork
downloaded.

Note: Artwork is now populating correctly for me in the default Mythbuntu
theme since upgrading to 0.27. I've not made any other changes that I can
think of that may have otherwise impacted. And it looks brilliant, making
some theme personalisation's now. Really adds to the wow factor when showing
it off :-)

Mark.
