Please bottom post on our lists.

If the parent folder starts with "Season" you will see screenshots, or
if the parent folder is the *exact* same as the metadata title, you
will see screenshots.  The reason it always works in TV/Movie browse
mode is because it builds the metadata to comply with these
requirements.

Basically:

/path/to/tv/Stargate/ with titles called "Stargate: SG-1" will not
show screenshots.

/path/to/tv/Stargate: SG-1/ with titles called "Stargate: SG-1" will
show screenshots.

/path/to/tv/Stargate/Season 1/ with *any* titles will show screenshots.
