That's strange.
I just added the same screenshot of my desktop to two different videos.
The screenshot definitely has no title information in the exif data.

And I can change the coverart over and over again without  the need
to reset all details.

Maybe the mouse is fooling you on the window for selecting the coverart?
Try to use the keyboard only.

Mythtv version is latest fixes/31
