Just curious about a few things, well, one is a problem, other two are more just being curious
1 - I noticed on a few occasions that I'll be scrolling through my TV Series library, and realize that a poster is different than what I assigned to it. Seems random, and doesn't happen often, but, ever since switching to FRODO it's been happening. When I update my library (since I see that the scan for new files option is gone) is it randomly scraping new poster art as well? It may be happening for my movies also... can't confirm that, but for TV series I know for certain that it's happened at least 6x.
2 - For my music library, I have a folder of singles, and a folder of albums, where each album is in it's own subfolder. I tag the MP3s with album art, have a folder.jpg, and I load it into Media Player so that it creates the small album art file and hide the folder.jpg file. I noticed that when I click through the folders, instead of using the higher quality folder.jpg it seems to default to the lower resolution small album art file. When I go into the folder and click the files, it uses the higher quality jpg embedded in the MP3. Is there a way to make it default to the higher quality folder.jpg instead? Not always but in many cases there is a noticeable difference in quality.
3 - If I have a file in say the movie section of my library, when I click to view the artwork available it basically shows only what was available when initially scraped. In order to pull in new artwork (I add artwork to the TMDB whenever possible) I have to refresh and re-scrape the file again. Is there an option somewhere, so when I click to view artwork, it automatically pulls in any/all new artwork since the last time the file was scraped? I remember asking this in version 10.. hoping after 2 versions maybe it's now an option.
Not overly concerned about #2 & #3... but... would definitely like some feedback on #1 if anyone knows what's happening. Hate taking the time to change the poster art to what I like, only to have random instances where it changes on me.
Side note, I don't use nfo files or anything like that, just scrape to the xbmc db... I'm not interested in switching because I don't want the clutter of extra files in my folders... so hoping there is another "fix" to my dilemma.
