I have a pretty large music library (~30K songs, 5K artists). For whatever reason, XBMC will not use the locally stored images for some artists. I know I can manually set the images for each artist but going through each artist in a large library is a pain. I know my images are in the proper location and named properly. My library is structured are follows:
artist>>album>>song list
Any ideas??

Thank you for the reply. Yes, the pics are in the folders prior to scraping. I even removed my source, cleaned the database and re-added a few times. But it still wont work for all my images. The strange thing is that for some images even if I try to go and add them manually, the images do not show in the initial list of available local and remote images. I have to browse to the artist folder to add the image and even then it still doesnt work sometimes.

Until you provide a debug log, chances are nothing will be done.

Further to the above I set up another XBMC client to access the same external mysql database and I experience the same issue (i.e. album covers not being displayed until the music files are played or accessed via info).
I've also synchronised the thumbnails folders between the two clients and these work fine for fanart etc but not for album covers.
