JSON-RPC and episode fanart - bradvido88 - 2011-03-08

I either don't understand something or I've found a bug.
Here's a snippet from calling VideoLibrary.GetEpisodes:

Code:
"episodeid": 40,
"fanart": "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart/e0d59ec9.tbn",
"file": "smb://localhost/c$/dropbox/TV Shows/House/Season.1/S01E01.strm",
"label": "Pilot",
"thumbnail": "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/0/02574749.tbn"
First of all, I don't fully understand what "episode fanart" is. I'm assuming it is the fanart for the actual TV Show, since I've never seen an episode have anything but a thumbnail...

Anyway, for all of my episodes I've checked, the fanart returned from JSON-RPC does not exist anywhere in my Thumbnails folder.

However, when I manually generate the fanart CRC hash from "smb://localhost/c$/dropbox/TV Shows/House/", i get b1c3ebd0, which IS in my thumbnail folder and is the correct fanart image.

This is also the same, correct, fanart I get from calling VideoLibrary.GetTVShows.

Am I missing something?
