Well, apparently, third time's a charm since after my latest xbmc install the home script thing now works as it should. Sorry to waste everyone's time.

Hope to have a couple of new features (maybe even fanart list view) and possibly some screen shots as have decided to change the basic look of xTV a little.

A couple of thoughts/opinions on this:

1) The fanart itself neither improves nor diminishes usability, though it can diminish the speed of scrolling, and that does have the potential of diminishing usability (though from my daily usage of this, this loss in speed is nowhere near to the point of frustrating the user experience or making things feel "slow" or unresponsive).
2) I would consider seeing or not seeing fanart as more of a house-wide decision. IMO, usability is improved by having a consistent experience on all of your XBMC streamers. So having one skin on one box/TV and another skin on a different box/TV is going to make things more difficult for your spouse/children if they have to ever use both boxes/TVs. If you're using the xTV skin on all of your boxes, make a decision as to whether you like fanart or not, and if you do, you should show it on all of your boxes. If you don't, the problem is solved by not pulling/storing the fanart on your server. My mod will, when it doesn't find fanart for a particular movie, display the available boxart/poster instead.

Don't know where to look for the latest nightly builds...
