[LOCAL] Thumbnails, art_id URL from MYSQL - clockwerk - 2022-03-27
After snooping around kodi forums and have not find this solution or attempt, I had to make this post
On MYSQL, I've noticed most thumbnail/poster/fanart are grabbed from art_id URL.
Is there any script or workaround to grab the URL of thumbnails from local server?
| art_id | media_id | media_type | type | url |
| 24141 | 442| movie | poster | http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/cswwr32s.jpg |
=======================================================================
To this,
| art_id | media_id | media_type | type | url |
| 24141 | 442| movie | poster | smb://192.168.1.1234/Movies/Harry (2001)-thumb.jpg |
This way, it will be truly centralized. Not substitution nonsense.

1. When you scraped that movie into the library, you did not have local artwork. You may have added local artwork later.
or
2. If you did have local artwork, maybe that particular image was missing or corrupt and Kodi had to fall back to a scraped image to display the poster.
Looking at the link, it is looks like a very old link, so maybe just delete the movie from the library and rescan it, and Kodi will use the local artwork if it is correctly named and saved.

Not at all, its just an example.
This is a problem for Local Information Scraped video. The thumbnails are not gonna appear from MYSQL unlike tmdb where CLIENTS will re-download thumbs by the links.
TLDR, Clients won't have thumbnails for Locally INFO Scraped.
