This script could check Kodi's database (textures.db or videos.db – whichever holds video file paths) and if absolute file path is known then directory which holds video file and fanart.jpg is known. Then simple file copy mechansim to corresponding Thumbnails folder (which again I think is stored in one of Kodi's database textures.db or videos.db).

I have re-scraped all my series and movies using Ember.
All new data (art and nfo) are stored on my NAS next to the video files.
When I want to update info info on my Kodi with the newly scraped data will the “-C” option do that or will that download everything again using the Kodi scrapers?

I have kodi using the shared MySQL database. Primary machine running kodi and the database with several RPI3 libreelec installs. I use MediaElch to maintain movie library and download all art, .nfo etc and Sickrage for TVShows, so the KODI machine which is set to update the library uses the local scrapers.
I have just started running texturecache.py nightly as a cron on the RPI's to ensure all their thumbnails etc are kept clean etc, am I doing correctly? I like the fact that I can start watching something and pic up again in another room, so I just want to make sure this is the best option? sources are all lan accessible via smb, and all kodi instances use the same, along with the advance settings.
Also can you please share the syntax for the "./texturecache.py watched" flag? as I would like to export just this information, blow away the mysql, re-instate and re-scan clean, but I want to be able to restore the last watched, stop point etc.
