This question probably has a very simple answer, but I can't think of it - so, apologies and thanks for bearing with me in advance!
I've just spotted the new 'download all processed artwork to file system' option - but, I can't work out why I need it. At the moment I have all my files on NAS (unRAID) e.g. Movie_folder/movie_name and my kodi clients have a shared mysql database with thumbnails stored in userdata/Thumbnails on each machine. I have no artwork in Movie_folder/movie_name etc etc
What are the advantages to downloading artwork? I thought kodi scans artwork once from Movie_folder/movie_name and then loads images from the Thumbnails directory thereafter??
I know I'm missing something here, but I can't put my finger on it.
