Hi
I am in the middle of trying to update my XBMC version which I needed help with (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1708080) and I ran into a small issue.
I don't seem to have enough space, when I started using XBMC it was still very small and SSD Drives were expensive so I only got a 16GB SSD Drive. Now it appears its full, or close to it. The easy solution would be to upgrade I am sure, but I am not in a position to buy anything that isn't necessary at the moment, so I have been doing some cleaning up. I have removed unwanted plugins, cleared cache, all that, and I have just enough space, but I think it would be wise to make more room, so here is where I need a little info.
I have a SQL server set up that has all of my media info stored, on the same server is all the media. I was under the impression that all of the thumbnails etc were stored on the server along with the media, but I noticed the Thumbnails folder in .xbmc and its about 5gb. I'm not sure if this is just a cache, but when I looked at more recent shows on the server, I noticed their thumbnails were not stores along with them. So assuming that its storing the thumbnails on the XBMC PC, is there a way to have it stored on the server along with everything else? I am sure it use todo this because a lot of older shows and movies have folder.jpg etc stored with the media. I did a few searched trying to find info and I did find a wiki which had some vague info but it seemed to suggest it was pre frodo only.
I have Frodo 12.2 (Trying to upgrade to 12.3), if it helps.
EDIT: This is the wiki I found that looks like it is what I need todo. But I am uncertain weather I just add that bit of code adn point it to my server PC or what.
Thank You
