Full Version: My art is all messed up

I did something terrible.

I was annoyed at the clearart and logos and wanted to do some cleaning and rescraping so I decided to delete the contents of my Userdata/Thumbnails folder.

Big mistake, because now XBMC thinks I still have the pictures in the thumbnails folder and is just giving me blanks because it can't find the pictures.

I thought I could just update my library and easily start from scratch but whatever I do there are still traces of my missing pictures Sad

Can anyone help? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall and setup of all my add-ons.
Delete this file to force XBMC to rebuild the artwork cache:

userdata (wiki)/database/Textures13.db

That should get XBMC to redownload images using the source URLs that are stored in the database.
You're a saint, thanks!
Don't thank me, thank jmarshall for revamping the cache system to allow this :D
If you want to automatically pre-load your texture cache try this script - it might even have helped you remove the troublesome artwork in the first place without blitzing your entire cache.
