Hmm, good point - not sure about local artwork.
Artwork extraction from song (and video) files isn't supported.
When you say "local files", are any of these files accessed over NFS or SMB? Thing is you should see _something_ for local artwork when it fails to retrieve it, I'm not sure why you're seeing absolutely nothing. It's hard for me to diagnose this problem when it's XBMC that isn't responding as it should, it could be anything but it sounds like something is corrupt.

I will investigate a little bit further... :-) Thanks for the help! Maybe I reinstall XBMC and remove the userdata folder

Ok I'm running the script on my Raspberry now, and it seems to work here. Strange... I used it on my laptop before for testing purposes

Check your xbmc.log for errors, I don't know why your XBMC is crashing, might be a OSX-specific bug. If you can reproduce it reliably you should raise it with the XBMC developers.

You could try disabling DDS in advancedsettings.xml and see if that has any effect.

HI,
I had some issues with artwork stored on a samba share which I have since deleted. Now I would like to refresh all the artwork and keep the artwork on the local machine. Running with the 'c' option correctly identifies the movies that need to be re-cached but it errors dues to the artwork file on the samba share not existing anymore.
Im wondering if its possible to remove any references to the deleted samba share artwork from the xbmc db, and if possible, re-download new artwork for the movies in question?
Ive tried a few times but I cant nut out how to do it.
Cheers.

Look at mklocal.py using options "--readonly --nokeep --output" - it should offer to remove any artwork that no longer exists locally.
Re-downloading would then happen if you run something like Artwork Downloader.

Cheers - I've never heard of mklocal.py. Giving it a whirl now.

Will that remove all non existing local artwork from cache only and do nothing else, even if you never used mklocal before?
