[mythtv-users] MythFrontend on Windows doesn't display artwork

[Mark Boyum]

I have a Windows computer that I would like to occasionally utilize as
a frontend since it has a 27 inch display.  The binaries from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mythtvwindows/files/0.27/ run.  I am
able to browse recordings and playback with no issues.

However, regardless of theme, the fanart / coverart / banners do not
display.  Not a huge deal except that it makes some screens look
pretty poor.

The frontend console log is full these:

Is this a shortcoming of running on Windows or have others got it working?
