These issues experienced by popeye2468 are because the Catch-Up TV addon is not setting ListItem.Art(landscape). The addon is only setting Art(thumb) which is a generic artwork type with no specified aspectratio (thumb could be poster, icon or landscape). Because the addon sets the content/dbtype to files, there is nothing to indicate to the skin that 16:9 landscape art is available in the thumb. Since 16:9 artwork is required for that view, the skin falls back to using fanart because it doesn't know what art the thumb contains.
Correct process is to set landscape art to the landscape art artwork type. Landscape art can be set in python with the ListItem setArt() method:
