Ok, this is exactly what I've been looking for to correct the black screen that comes up on my main menu when "Random Movies" is set as my background. The only problem: I have no freaking clue how to work this... Anyone know of a "How to" for dummies like me? Your help is much appreciated!

Why does it need correcting in the first place? This usually means you've done something wrong to cause the problem, such as using path substitution in an attempt to share thumbnails between multiple clients. Re-caching may only prove to be a temporary solution unless the root cause is identified and resolved, and for that you need to provide more detail/upload a debug log (wiki).

I will provide that once I am home. I was directed to this thread because multiple users seem to have had this issue. Many users keep recommending your tool as a fix:

I looked at some of these threads, seems like the issue is in Aeon Nox 5? Taking a quick look and it seems like that skin is using script.grab.fanart to get the background image on home screen. If so IIUC that addon doesn't use cached art at all (in fact that I guess is the point of the addon), instead makes JSON queries into database (assume art tables) and gets the art itself then sets properties for the skin to use in showing the background art. It looks like there are a couple settings for the addon you might look at (Refresh Time / Mode).
