This presents an issue when the files are related with MythVideo records. Alternate Service API's associated with Recorded Artwork do not support screenshots and do not necessarily have records at all especially when entries in MythVideo were collected before Recorded Artwork metadata was supported. I am currently running a fully updated version of v0.26+fixes. I believe this problem is in every version that the Service API GetImageFile exists including master. The following information was extracted from a developer's IRC channel log, where bill6502 verified that the issue exists and made these relevant comments: IReboot: The proper escape for & is, in fact %26, but [ec50629] breaks it by doing fromPercentEncoding before it reaches: httprequest.cpp:904 (GetParameters) - sParams: 'StorageGroup=fanart&FileName=Law%20%26%20Order:%20Special%20Victims%20Unit%20Season%201_fanart.jpg' so the %26 is replaced with & and whatever follows looks like another parameter. looks like the [] don't work, the commit is here: code.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/ec506292 reverting line 1027 fix the problem, but would likely bring back whatever it fixed. I labelled the component as the default ""MythTV-General"" as there is no obvious category for Service API."
