Can you think of any arcane Android setting I may have set then forgotten about that may be causing this?
Could you send me a debug log (only me -- erase the multipie address)? I accidentally left some debug prints in that might help here.

What is the value for the CC setting Covers & Thumbnails / Cover view: cover shape? The problem is explained if it isn't one of the two "preserve aspect ratio" choices. For thumbs I didn't implement "Portrait box - stretch to fit."

EDIT: I tested using "Portrait box - stretch to fit" and it indeed made everything square.

I changed thumb generation to respect the AR of the original cover when "Portrait box - stretch to fit" is selected. This means that the covers will appear somewhat different in the widgets than in the cover view. When that option is selected the cover view uses a fixed AR of .65 to 1. The actual AR will be used in the widget.
