Silki - Does it happen in other skins? The volume bar is a separate dialog, so I'm guessing it is probably introducing a little bit of an extra resource strain when loading (where as osd/seekbar would already be preloaded).

D-m-x - It just means that you can run Artwork Beef from the video info dialog. Artwork Downloader has been depreciated and will be removed from kodi repositories eventually.
See here for details:

As braz pointed out, Artwork Beef fills Art(thumb) with a thumbnail rather than a poster -- whereas poster is put into Art(poster). This is the proper way to do things. However, the unfortunate side effect is that old depreciated methods of getting poster artwork in skins will now show thumbs instead. I've corrected this by adding an extra check for poster artwork in fullscreenvideo info, so it should be fixed on latest git.
@
braz - That is actually the correct way to do things as ListItem.Thumb has been depreciated and otherwise there is no way to get the thumbnail. The problem is that ListItem.Icon prefers Art(thumb) over Art(poster) and Art(tvshow.poster). IMHO, ListItem.Icon behaviour needs to be changed, not Artwork Beef (though AB should have an option for disabling this, but I can't see any).
EDIT: Looks like Artwork Beef pulls thumbs from the local extrathumbs folder. If you delete the folder, then it wont fill the thumb.
You can also fix the issue with Artwork Beef specifically:
1. Run Artwork Beef from Programs.
2. Choose "Remove specific artwork type for ..."
3. Choose "movies ..." (or whatever content you need to do).
4. Choose "thumb".
5. AB will run through and remove all the thumbs, and ListItem.Icon should now work.

Edworld - I just updated the icons to match the new branding refresh that RT has done.
