I don't have this problem.
you can try texture catch utility http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158373
Catch all artwork and see if it helps

Thanks for the hint, but the artwork is already inside the respective folders AND referenced where available in the nfo-files, too. The clearlogos show up everywhere else where they can be displayed fast, so i'm sure they're already cached. It's just that for me on madnox (actual git version) it takes a long time to load those artworks in the spoken views (showcase with enabled infopanel and 4 thumbs view when selecting a movie set & music artists in views where i can enable live cds showing up in the background). I have no trouble at all showing up posters & fanarts (even extrafanarts) and images from artwork downloader results, they get cached and displayed fast afterwards. Same for the albums when entering an artists directory. Also even if on a movieset it already loaded the info text and artworks once, the next time i browse to that movieset again all (text & clearlogos) disappears and get "loaded" or "scraped" again, just if the script that does this doesn't function the same way as earlier on shednox.

I have no clue what happens. I also found out that if i for example select "Taken Collection" movie set and wait until all shows up, and then afterwards i select "Battle Royale Collection", at first the "Taken" info text shows up (plot etc.), then it disappears and after a while the correct text for Battle Royale shows up and then also the images come up. When switching back the selection, the same happens vice versa.

edit: is it possible that the script can't use samba shares for adding cached images, but kodi itself can do it? Asking because that's the main difference between my earlier setup and today - i've set up a path substitution for the thumbnails folder in advancedsettings.xml so the images do not fill too much space on the android tv box and the firetv box space which points to smb://192.168.1.200/Thumbnails (kodi is accepting that without a problem).

Spoken of this, can anyone tell me which script generates/fills the live cd images in background and the movie set info & cleararts? Maybe i can dig into the code and check debug.log for a better insight view.
