Default recording artwork

[Bobins]

Having upgraded my desktop windows PC hardware I now have a spare motherboard so have finally decided to start testing V5 (Daren't touch the  V4 server as constantly in use by her who must be obeyed).

Installed V5, copied over the V4 database and media files then setup mapped drives to point to the existing recordings on the V4 server and edited the V5 database to point to the recording files.
Started V5 server and can happily access it from both the Web and App client.

When I go to the V5 Recordings web page I see thumbnail artwork for most of the recordings however some are just a blank square.

In V4, those shows that did not create any .jpg thumbnail/fanart files during recording (in either Media/shows or the recording folder) all show a "default" common thumbnail picture in the recordings web page.

I V5 those shows just show a small blank square. Should there be a default thumbnail showing in V5?

From an API perspective I wouldn't want the API to deliver a generic image in the event that a better image is found later. Applications like Kodi and Emby will assume they have the best one.

How does it look in NextPVR?

In both NextPVR V5 application and the WEB browser those shows with no artwork just show a blank box where artwork should be. The V4 web page definitely looked better with a default thumbnail.

I'll add a default thumbnail in the web app.
