Homescreen fanart - purpleman - 2012-05-09

Hello,

I'm using the skin ReFocus which shows my movies fanart on the homescreen background.

When I update and clean my library (e.g. when deleting a movie), the movie itself gets removed from the movie lists (which is good), but the fanart remains. Essentially, every movie I ever had shows on the homescreen background instead of only those that I currently have.

Is there a way to make it refresh the fanart images in accordance to the library?

Thanks Smile

To completely remove unused, old fanarts you would have to actually redo the whole library-setup.
Another solution however is this neat little tool:

However - this is for Windows only. With Frodo (XBMC 12) those issues should be gone since a new artwork-implementation is on it's way.

Thanks! seems to do the trick just fine.

Now I just need to find a way to schedule it to run every X hours.

You could just use Windows' task scheduler:

yeah, that's one way to go,

but I'd rather find a way to do it from within xbmc so I can tell it to not run if a movie is currently being played.

Possible?

Puh - to be honest: Beats me.
I'd guess you would have to write an addon to do that...
