Knowing that Kodi caches images "fanart\thumbnail" to enhance performance/speed of image loading; Is there a way to Force an image to reload every time it is accessed\mouse overed\reloaded? I have a .jpg that, even though it's Url is static - it is updated every 5-10 min on the website with most recent radar image w/ timestamp. Would be nice look.
Looking to possibly write an addon for the topic of Weather local\regional\world w/ recaps. Most of the radars will be .m3u8's.
Here is an example:
I looked/searched through a couple of years worth of info and it appears it may not be possible. The only remedy is to clear the thumbnail cache and delete the Textures#.db - not what I would prefer. Would be nice if it is possible.
Any ideas?
Additional question - some radar's are animated .gif's - is there a way to display them?
Thanks, m5Germany
