Description
Describe the bug
The Estuary skin (the default Kodi skin) does not support studio icons on folders.
We discovered Kodi's studio icon support only by accident because we used mediatype infolabels on 'tvshows' folders (causing these folders to not show as folders). Now that we have fixed that, we lost studio icons on our program listings...
Additionally, in episode-listings we also do not see any studio icons, while there is no reason to not show them.
It would be nice if:
- studio icons are shown for folders too (folders can't have a mediatype according to Kodi)
- studio icons are shown on episodes (not just tvshows)
- mediatype infolabels are allowed on folders (not a skin issue)
The fix in phil65/skin.estuary#258 even supports studio icons now in our Most recent, Channels and Live TV listitems. Which is really great.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the add-on builds its program, folder, and episode list items, then compare the studio-icon behavior in Estuary with the behavior described for Most recent, Channels, and Live TV listings. Check Kodi's handling of studio icons and mediatype infolabels on folders. Done means studio icons appear for folders and episodes without breaking folder display or mediatype handling.
