I'm hoping someone can help me clean up some artwork in my current Frodo database...
All of my movies that were scanned to my library with earlier versions of XBMC (Eden and earlier) show 3 items when I go into "Extras... Choose Artwork", I see:
-poster
-fanart
-thumb
All of my more recent movies that were scanned since upgrading to Frodo a while back only show 2 items:
-poster
-fanart
What I'm finding is that the older entries that have the extra "thumb" (which appears to be simply a single frame screencapture from the movie) cause problems with some skins, and on remote machines when accessing the library via UPNP... in those cases, the proper posters do not display, but the thumb (screencap) is displayed instead. On all of the more recent entries that have only the 2 proper items (poster and fanart), the poster displays correctly everywhere.
Is there a simple way to get rid of the extra "thumb" for all of the older movies (2000+) without rescanning the whole library which would both take considerable time, and also lose a lot of my carefully selected artwork which I really don't want to do?
Or is there a setting somewhere in XBMC that I can enable to tell it to ignore these extra thumbs?
Many thanks
