Full Version: force library to use artwork from internet?

I have many (7) instances of XBMC running on various machines using MySQL to share libraries - I also now have DEMOPAD running to control each of these including 2 way feedback to show the art work on the iphone or ipad, but the problem i have is that when movies are scraped they store the artwork locally eg:

{"id":"1","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"item":{"art":{"fanart":"image://smb%3a%2f%2fHTPC%2f2013%20Movies%2fAbout%20Time%2fAbout%20Time-fanart.jpg/","poster":"image://smb%3a%2f%2fHTPC%2f2013%20Movies%2fAbout%20Time%2fAbout%20Time-poster.jpg/"},"id":6,"label":"About Time","title":"About Time","type":"movie"}}}

and I need them to instead look something similar to:

{"id":"1","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"item":{"art":{"fanart":"image://http%3a%2f%2fimage.tmdb.org%2ft%2fp%2foriginal%2feRBVfONVhcVuueJ5ksKvPuCLLvy.jpg/","poster":"image://http%3a%2f%2fimage.tmdb.org%2ft%2fp%2foriginal%2fonpio7AWndkzH6mptb35cCuV9q1.jpg/"},"id":177,"label":"12 Years a Slave","title":"12 Years a Slave","type":"movie"}}}

noting the "http" instead of "smb" - is there an easy way to rescan without losing the "watched" and "date added" tags?

thanks
