I just moved from version 16.x to 18.8. A couple hours after I upgraded Kodi informed me that my thumbnail cache was too large, and asked me if I wanted to delete it (sorry I am not 100% sure it said thumbnail cache, but that's what I think I remember). At first I said no. Until after every Kodi restart it asked that question again. So realizing it wasn't going to quit asking, I looked up on Google what that meant and what to do about it. And while I didn't really understand any of the explanations, I at least did realize that deleting my thumbnail cache was going to delete all of my artwork. Which I had spent years collecting the exact artwork I wanted, so I didn't want that.
So I googled what to do about it and I did find one sort of helpful article from howtogeek.com which explained how to store your Kodi artwork in the same folder as your videos. So I followed this article. Feeling as though I had the problem solved I then agreed to delete the thumbnail cache. And upon restarting Kodi, everything seemed to be going as planned, only for some reason Kodi didn't reload most of the artwork. I did go check the folders and they all do have an .nfo file and artwork files. But for some reason Kodi isn't loading the local files. Is there a setting with 18.8 I have to set to use local? Or what can I do about it.
Sorry if this question has been asked, I tried to search for help with nfo but I guess you can't for words that are less than 4 characters long? I also checked your FAQ to see if there was an answer there, and that page is currently down to be rewritten?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really have exhausted my limited knowledge to the point where I really don't even know what I would do a google search for.
