videos app not showing artwork for tv shows on iOS8

I have the same problem. Is it a bug, or some new weird setting..?

How would I do this

It works. I guess it's a bug anyway.

Will they be sorting or do i have to change over 800 pictures in my library?

Tride a square one but still nothing, all that works are iTunes downloaded videos:(

I can get cover artwork to show ONLY if it's 1024x768 artwork (or similar aspect ratio) - this only shows on grouped items

It will NOT show on the line item per video - it's still shows no artwork - wondering if there is some funny specific aspect ratio or res for those

Just using GIMP or Seashore (on Mac) or any image editor on windows; centering the existing widescreen artwork I have on a blank image and leaving white bars on top and bottom shows fine on the video thumbnails

It seems like the Video app in IO8 now mirrors how the iTunes store displays TV shows. It needs a square artwork file for the Season grouping then a rectangle artwork for the actual Episode. Applying square artwork (like using iFlicks v2) will make the season artwork show up in iOS but like you said, there are still grey rectangles for in-line artwork. I don't know how to apply a different in-line artwork within iTunes while still keeping a square season artwork. The pic below is from the iTunes store, this is the setup that iOS8 seems to need to display season and episode artwork correctly.

Looks like content on iTunes store is using a square artwork of 1400x1400

I found some new free episodes of TV shows on iTunes store - I see the per epsidoe small rectangle artwork but don't see this in artwork in "Get Info" for the item or in metadata when using other tools

So I see "use square artwork" "don't use square artwork", I've tried both to no avail. Can someone from apple please look into this and tell us what restrictions/requirements there are for the artwork to show up. This trial and error doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere.

I think it's really a limitation in what artwork iTunes allows you to add to non-purchased media. You really need to add square artwork for the season and then a screenshot of the episode for the in-line artwork.

I am having the same problem having artwork show with movies in the video app.

DP0350 - not sure what you mean. how do you add a square cover for the series? I've tried adding both square and not square to the episode and nothing works. Do you actually have a file that you didn't purchase from iTunes where you've added cover art and it shows up in IOS8? If so, could you post exactly what you did, and even post the non-square cover art you used?

I Selected a season of a TV show (list view) then edited and pasted the square season cover to the batch. So all episodes of that season now have the same square cover art. In IOS8 this cover art shows up as the "season artwork". However in IOS8 the inline "episode artwork" is still grayed out, this is the problem. IOS8 wants square season art and rectangular episode art. This is how TV shows purchased on iTunes display (see the pic in my post above). However I can't figure out how to mimic this with non-purchased shows. To answer your question, yes I have multiple shows of non-purchased music that are displaying the art for the season. But again no inline episode artwork. All my artwork came from here: http://squaredtvart.tumblr.com
