Now playing during video playback does not show cover art.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Consistant problem
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
*Cover art displayed above current movie playback position slider.
*It looks like it tries to load the dvd cover art - shows a blank dvd case 
mock, then quickly switches to blank cd mock and stays.  No artwork ever shows.

What version of XBMC Remote are you using?
v0.8.8-beta1

Which Android device are you using (and which ROM, if custom)?
Honeycomb 3 on Nook Color

Which XBMC revision are you running and on which platform?
Platform independent - problem exists on 11.0-beta 3 for Win 7 and Ubuntu 10.10

Please provide any additional information below.
Probably a low priority fix but figured I would mention it.  Very amazing 
functionality for a beta - keep up the good work!

By mock I mean placeholder.  And I do have everything cataloged into the 
library with all of the thumbs correctly.  All of the menu's download fine, 
just when I play an episode or movie the now playing screen lacks the artwork.  
Album art for Music seems to work fine.  

Also - when in the "Watch your TV Shows" menu - the banner images do not scale 
correctly occasionally... they appear as approx 20x20px thumbs with black 
filling the rest of the box.  I would say one out of three do this, only on the 
linked 11.0-beta3 windows box, the linux box seems to work fine.  Possibly a 
menu option to dump the cache of the current menu as a quick fix, not a 
permanent solution tho.

Once again I am using a Nook Color with Honeycomb 3 running off a sd-card, so 
my device is a tablet with a 7" screen, might be the cause of some of these 
issues.

I am also not able to view album art on my Android device. Same as OP.

I am pulling my music down via a shared music folder on my home network away 
from the PC that's running XBMC.

Additionally, when I choose the icon "Listen to Music", the first window 
"Albums" indicates "No Albums found." Same for "Artists", "Genres", and 
"Compilations". I do, however, see my music folder in the when pressing the 
'folder' icon where I can browse my library.

Great app.
