Other Videos artwork // mod: consistent poster aspect ratio in library / collections

Can we please have consistency with the artwork orientation for Other Videos libraries?

In the Library it’s landscape but in a Collection it’s portrait. Why the inconsistency? For Movies and TV the Library doesn’t display artwork in landscape orientation so why must Other Videos? IMO, landscape is unnecessary and a complete waste of space because of the sheer size of the artwork, even at the smallest zoom level.

Library:

Collection:

I’ve just noticed this behaviour, and I want a fix as well. My “Other Videos” library only includes 16:9 vids, and the thumbnails for individual vids are all in landscape, but the collection I’ve just created (again, only 16:9 vids) insists that the vids within it must all have portrait thumbnails. Even worse, the auto-generated thumbnail for the collection, which is in portrait, is cropped to landscape in the main library view.

I think this looks terrible and should absolutely be an option, not forced on us.
