hmm that's odd. does that still occur after you restart xbmc?

xbmc is caching them. and I got an idea what might be wrong here. please create a ticket on trac or github for this issue.

I just shot myself in the foot and wasted half an hour by changing all icons in tvheadend. Now it's impossible to get them to show up in XBMC without disabling image caching in tvheadend. I have checked that it's not a tvheadend issue by removing the imagecache data and verifying that the cache holds the new images. XBMC sees the same URL as before (the local imagecache URL) and thus uses a cached version. Since the imagecache has been recreated XBMC now even displays random icons for all channels so the whole situation is extra frustrating. Deleting all thumbnails is most definitely not a solution. Fixing the "Reset the PVR database" to actually remove the cached images is a better idea, or somehow fixing the cache algorithm so that it can detect changes to the image.
[/rant]
On a second thought, XBMCs image cache should be cleared each time it quits. Considering that the icon can either be local, in which case caching is totally useless, or remote, in which case the backend should be responsible for caching it (like tvheadend already does). This way the backend or the user would be in control of the icons, not an impossible to control internal cache mechanism.
