Moviesheets created with the new version of ThumbGen for TV Shows no longer work.
Wouldn’t happen if the beta testers would work with the newest software but arrogance and ignorance is stronger than understanding of the responsibility that comes with being a beta testers.
You will fix this by unchecking the “new FW” option but then your TV shows will be unsorted again.
No matter what you decide to do you will be screwed.
Don’t update the firmware if you have TV Sheets created with the newest version of ThumbGen

The issue is that they changed the way backdrops for TV shows is pulled.
It no longer uses the code from the xml to pull up the backdrops. Instead, now it uses a single folder with all the backdrops in it for all the episodes with in a folder and it appears to require using the internal scrapper to do that.
If you are using a custom theme, then you need to rollback to the previous firmware to have local backdrops for TV shows to display.

i noticed the backdrop folders when i scraped an episode.
this does not explain why older movie sheets still work to the exact date when i started using the current version of ThumbGen. There is no apparent reason for that. It can’t be a memory/cache thing i made 100% sure of that.
I anwered your post inthe FW section of the forum. I had the same issue beta testing the release before this one. The issue is that you have to have the “.” in between the season and the episode. You also have to actualy have an “S” and a “E” or it does not work either
out of your two examples the S01.E01 will wor but the S02E01 will not. I had to bulk rename the file that were not named correctly with the “.” or the “S” and the “E” and then fix the xml files to call the new file names
SO
Arrested.Development.S01.E01.mkv_sheet.jpg - will work
Arrested.Development.S01E01.mkv_sheet.jpg - will not work
Arrested.Development.01.01.mkv_sheet.jpg - Will not work
Arrested.Development.01x01.mkv_sheet.jpg - Wil not work
After renames and then fixing the XMLs worked like a charm. Refer to my post in the FW section for a more in depth post
Good luck. 1.9 is working fine for me now once again
Seems WD is using an own xml format without respecting the w3c rules
