Hi,
As far as I know the Settings » Video » File Lists » Extract thumbnails and video information is supposed to extract a thumbnail from the video (assuming I'm not using any scraper) and the video information for tagging.
I've noticed that with this option enabled the thumbnail is exctracted, the video tagging information is available when I bring the video info panel. However, when it's disabled, the thumbnail is not extracted but the video tagging is still there.
Now, I know that this information was extracted before and thus saved on the database for future use. But I disabled the option, exited XBMC, deleted userdata/database and userdata/thumbnails folders, reopened XBMC and the video tagging information for any video file is still displayed.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? Maybe the video tagging information is stored in a different place?
Also, I'm aware of this topic about turning that option into two, one for extracting the thumbnail and another for the video information. At the moment, on guisettings.xml we have two options <extractflags> and <extractthumb>, which both are supposed to be true/false depending on the Extract thumbnails and video information setting. However, only the <extractflags> option is set to false/true accordingly to the setting. The <extractthumb> option is always true but the thumbnail is not extracted if <extractflags> is false though. I don't know if this is intented or nor...
