No, the path for each artwork item is in your media library - this may be the path of a local file, or it may be a remote artwork url - so there's no need for the script to search, it only has to ask Kodi to download the relevant path or url based on the location of the artwork you have scraped into your media library. Of course if the artwork is remote, and the artwork no longer exists at the configured url, then Kodi won't be able to download anything, and you will need to scrape a new url for the poster.

That's what the P option is for - if you remove an item (movie, tvshow, album, etc.) from your media library then the texture cache on each of your Kodi clients will continue to store the old cached artwork (posters, fanart, cover art etc. etc.), which is just wasting space. The P (prune) option cross references your media library artwork with the cached artwork and removes the cached artwork that is not present (or no longer present) in your media library.

The question is: could the script be modified somehow to respect this max speed of 3 requests a second? I assumed that 1 thread max could slow down the process... but I see it's not the case. Could it just add a config option to limit requests at 1/second for example?

I see it was an error to delete all my thumbnails...  

Ok. I know nothing about python, but I managed to find the place to add a "time.sleep(1)" and thus control download speed... BUT, I've tested some sleep values, and all of them end with a "ban" from fanart.tv. If I cancel script execution and restart it, it works again for some downloads, so I assume I should find a way to close and open the thread every few seconds... or... uglyer but also possible, I should find a way to automate that script "cancel/restart"... 

Which thumbnails are you trying to import? Did you try disabling fanart.tv and using an alternative. For Music you can use Universal Scraper, not sure about Video content but isn't there another option like tvdb or tmdb?

I'll have a think, but yes a 1/second limit option seems like the quickest fix. Since every artwork hosting web site is likely to impose different rate limiting rules the ideal would be for the script to be configured with those rules but that isn't likely to happen (at least, I have no intention of implementing that) as it would become a maintenance chore (as rules change etc.). Hopefully the fanart rate limit is only temporary as I imagine that's going to screw up Kodi as well.

I just deleted a season of a certain show (the folder is definitely no longer on disk and I don't see the season in Kodi anymore), but in in the path table my database I still see an entry for the path of the deleted season and in the art table I still see antries for the poster of the deleted season and the seasson before that.

(2020-06-03, 09:27)Raytestrak Wrote: Edit: just did a check, I finished season 4 of aanother show. Ran cleanup from with Kodi and pruned my texturecache afterwards. I still see entries to the folder in the path table and art tables. I even see entries for all the episode thumbs of season 3, not for season 4. Artwork for season 3 and 4 were pruned though. Not related to texturecache, but interesting nonetheless.

You're probably right. It has no much sense to implement site by site rules inside the script. May be you could implement some config options so users can "adapt" script behaviour to each site limitation. "cadence" and "reconnect" options maybe? I don't know. You're the master here.

Thanks a lot for your support.

(2020-06-05, 09:02)peque Wrote: Ok. I though something similar (more than one requests asked to Kodi).

Unfortunately now I've got cached all my artwork and I wouldn't like to contribute to stress fanart.tv site again. But I'll test that option when I have some more artwork to cache.

Thank you so much.

Thank you!

Can you upload a texturecache log (created using @logfile=/tmp/tc.log) for a vscan when "duplicate" episodes (or movies) are processed?

I'm pretty sure this is a bug in older versions of kodi, and I don't see it with Kodi 19 (when using MySQL, in case that's another variable). The episodes/movies are logged by the script in response to JSON-RPC notifications received from the Kodi client, so if an episode (or movie) is logged twice that would mean 2 notifications were received from/emitted by the kodi client when normally only one notification should have been received.
