I have just started to play around with player view in hopes of one day introducing it to my players. One problem I am having is with smart images. The simple pictures display fine when I am in player mode, but smart images are solid black (sometime a single pin will be visible) and sized wrong. Anyone else having this issue? I haven't submitted a ticket yet, but no one else is having this issue or has a fix I will do so.

You need to reveal smart images.
Fog of World and all that.
What I usually do, for say Foxglove Manor in RotRL, is import the map, reveal all, then conceal the inside of the house. That way, they can see the surrounding area IMMEDIATELY.
But yeah, you need to reveal the actual map (erase the fog).

Smart images start out entirely hidden. That's why they are black. You need to reveal portions of the image to the players, and then only the revealed portions will be shown. This is accomplished via the appropriate tools on the floating toolbar. More details will be found in the manual and in the tutorial videos.
If it's an area map that the players are assumed to already know (e.g. the overland areas around where they grew up), you can reveal the entire smart image with a single operation via the Options menu. Then the only things they don't know are some of the pins you've placed on the map for them to discover.
Hope this helps!

Use the reveal section tool, you know, the one where you drag it out with your mouse?
So just select all of it to be revealed. Best way, unless I'm forgetting a tool (I'd look at it myself, but I'm armpit deep in my WoD realm, which has only static images at the moment. I'd swap to my RotRL realm....but....I'm not done.... Lol.
