Ah, haven't used MC's stock poster fetching for ages as it can only save poster next to file so you probably need something like this:
<img src="[Filename (path)]Filename(,0).jpg" height="200">

That did it, thanks!

You may also want to back up on your own before upgrading. If you don't want your templates to be overwritten, then after you restore, manually edit the version in your current templates file (with a text file editor) to be Version="100.0" or some high number. The templates file path is "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 32\Library\theater view file info templates.xml" in Windows for a local library. For a library server client, this has to be done on the server. Note that if you do any editing of the templates in the MC dialog, it will revert to the current version when saved.

Yeah, this is not a success-oriented approach for the long term.
Unless, of course, JR is now taking Apple's approach of dictating to users.
The new templates are interesting to me in some scenarios.
But mostly, meh.
I'd prefer my prior data-focused templates instead of the new image-focused templates.
I'm not saying ~dump the image focused templates~
All I am saying is to support the more textual templates without having to jump through the backup/restore hoops.
Why can't the more textual, less image-oriented, templates be an option in the Theater View options area?
I did an upgrade of MC this afternoon (to 32.0.44 on Windows 10), and I lost the templates I had enabled.
I had to play the restore dance.
Really? A software provider making users jump through hoops?
Is this what MC has come to, forcibly overriding user-set options?
imo, this is not a good path to go down....

We're not trying to force anything on anyone. The problem exists because users modified a standard part of MC.

Isn't it because something that could/should be configurable/pluggable can only be configured in this way? ie the actual problem is a gap in MC not users doing it wrong
