Hi Nessus,
Thanks for looking into this & your reply.
I have experimented a bit more with different drives connected & disconnected.
Any movie that has been added either by scanning to the library normally or by refreshing an existing movie that wasn't displaying correctly, will always show all information correctly in both the library screen & the info screen.
Any movie that is on a connected drive will show all information correctly in both the library screen & the info screen.
Any movie that is on a drive that is not connected & was imported using exported info, poster art & fanart will show poster art in the library but not in the info screen. Fanart shows in both views always.
I have checked 30 movies with the drive disconnected to confirm no poster art is showing in the info screen. Connected the drive, going into the info screen for the same 30 movies & the poster art was there instantly. Waited for a second or so for the extra info to appear & did that for all 30 movies. All Poster art appeared without issue. I then disconnected the drive & went into the 30 movies again & the Poster art was NOT populating again. So the problem is only happening on imported movies from local files & doesn't appear to be a caching issue related to giving time & viewing for each file.
I have also switched to Estuary & that seems to be behaving in exactly the same way......so maybe a Kodi bug?
Edit: I have installed Arctic Zephyr: Reloaded & that is generating poster art for the library view & the info view if the external drives are disconnected.
Cheers
