[mythtv-users] Coverart

I searched and searched, but my google-fu seems weak with this one.

At some point in time over the last several months, I lost all of the
coverart and metadata to all of my movies.  The cover-art is still
available on the file system (it comes from an NFS mount of the shared
mythtv home directory.. note that this is pre-storage group stuff, so I
probably need to re-visit doing things this way and have the BE server
hand out the cover art directly if that is possible), but none of my
mythtv frontends see it.

Rescaning the entire movies store doesn't seem to update any of the
cover art or metadata.  I thought it was because I was on 0.26 and
perhaps the tmdb script broke in some way and 0.27 would fix it (and
some other minor issues.. hey, 0.27 gave me a functioning mythutil to
send NCID messages!), but even after a full upgrade (and subsequent
backend hardware change), I am still seeing the same issue.

Interestingly, it is getting cover art and metadata for the items in my
videos folder that are TV shows (loaded in from DVDs we have).  It just
doesn't seem to get any of the movie information (my NFS store contains
ISOs and M4V files of my DVD collection) any more.  There aren't any
errors in the frontend logs even when running in with debug output that
indicate what the issue might be.. the logs are unusually quiet when I
do a re-scan of the videos on a frontend.
