Modifying nfo files followed by vclean/vscan won't have any effect on existing library entries, while a vscan on renamed entries might result in duplicate entries. This is why "qax @qa.nfo.refresh=1" exists. So no, I wouldn't recommend a regular vclean/vscan, but I would recommend a regular "qax @qa.nfo.refresh=1".

Hi,
just wanted to ask if it is possible to cache all of my local actor Images but no other artwork?
I'm asking this because I use the Emby addon for Kodi which is not able to sync actor artwork.
What would be the command to achive this?
Thanks

Hi, absolutely love this utility and have been using it for a long time now. I have a question. I recently added tags to my TV shows. I have about 140 shows. I want to refresh all the show nfos without refreshing episodes. is it possible with this utility?

Sorry should have been more clearer. I used TMM to write those nfos. I use vscan to scan new episodes. What I want to do is ask kodi to refresh tvshow.nfo for shows (and not all episodes).. But manually doing it in Kodi would be a bit tedious. So I was wondering if it can be done through this utility.

The only way to get Kodi to reload the content of your tvshow.nfo files is to click on "Refresh" in the GUI, or delete the tvshow and rescan and I'd expect the latter to delete and rescan your episodes too.

I've successfully been able to install and edit out all the required parameters.
I usually download the metadata using another app, however i would like to use Texture Cache Maintenence utility for regular housekeeping, and other goodies.
If one doesnt use this utility for downloading metadata for new movies, what else can i do with this?
Also, i have a lot of duplicate movies, two thumbnails for few movies but just one movie directory.. can i prune or remove those duplicate entries?
if not, anyways please let me know what other things i can use with this?
