@Mario S. Yup, Mr. V has another possibility. Artwork Beef won't replace any artwork that exists in Kodi's database (unless it's a local image file that no longer exists on the file system), so it won't download a replacement, either.

@syxrail After Kodi caches all the images, media hard drives don't need to spin up to display artwork - unless your skin uses the classic extrafanart right from the file system or you prune the texture cache too much. Edit: whoops, Kodi will periodically spin the drives up to check for changes.

@movie78 1. music and movie set artwork only for now. 2. Yeah, when Kodi needs to load a bunch of new images it can be slow, but once most images have been displayed and cached it should speed back up. You can use Texture Cache Maintenance Utility to cache all the images before browsing into the library.
