HELP how to change extrathumbs ?
#1
hi all

I use xbmc 12.2 and aeon nox skin and i have had some movies that show 4 extrathumbs but a couple of them are not that good so i wanted to change the pictures so replaced the old pictures with new ones in the extrathumbs folder.

I then deleted the movie from xbmc library and cleaned the library then added the mvoie back into the library but its still showing the old extrathumbs ? How can i change these as i can not find an option to do so, like i said i have changed the extrathumbs in the main movie folder but xbmc keeps showing the older versions of the pictures and not the new updated version.

thanks

If you don't want to wait I'm pretty sure that Texture Cache Maintenance utility will fix it.

But I will see if it updates on its own as I did not relise it takes a couple of days. Did not know it did that. Will that be the same for a system that uses a server with MySQL. As I run 2 front ends and a server.

Wow, not until now have I checked out your link. Beautiful work! Shall I assume that these are all available for Artwork Downloader to draw upon?

It seems xbmc 12.2 refreshes the thumbs like you said after a couple of days.

Happy days

I had the same problem with some wrong thumbs, and your comment made me wonder... what about changing system date of the computer? Could it trick xbmc and make it update thumbs? The answer is... Yes!!!

I closed xbmc, changed system date to 10 days into the future, started xbmc, updated movie library and that's all, the new thumbs appeared!!! Afterward i got back to the correct date.

Thanks for your hint, I didn't feel like trying the script some people pointed to... too much hassle for just a couple of thumbs...
