Yep, it should.

Note that you'll need to delete your old posters before new ones will be
downloaded (and, really, that probably also means resetting the field
that references the poster image by using "Edit Metadata" or "Reset
Metadata"). And, at least on 0.21-fixes, you'll have to restart
mythfrontend after getting the new posters (because of the theme cache).
