I was thinking this would be automatic but for some reason it wasnt.  The
link provided gave me some commands to run to assign the correct numbers to
the metadata.  I had previously checked the lookup metadata option on my
recording rules so I could get season and episode information.  I have seen
simular behavior as also described above between the two themes.  Artwork
does not show up in mythbuntu as consistantly as it does in the blue
abstract theme.
