It's an easy config change in MediaElch to apply the basefilename as part of the naming convention but this should be called out as media manager tools won't recognise filenames that don't match whatever has been set as the default config.Not sure when this changed, but apparently (see the default)...

New features are "landscape" images from TheAudioDB for music artists, which can also be added to music videos, and options to disable all automatic processing for individual media types. It also includes fixes for archived media files in Krypton and earlier, and automatic processing after single item updates in Leia.Great, it's functional !

I currently run the texturecache script once a week or so for each of my kodi clients to update the thumbs. Having the files locally will really help the performance of clients we don't use often enough that take a while to build the thumbs. Running the script for multiple profiles is a pain as well as most of the time, the script fails to change the profile automatically and I have to keep running up and down the stairs to keep it working.

Images are downloaded from the internet only once, then each Kodi client caches from that instead of each downloading their own copy. This may not be a big deal for many home connections, but with all of us folks using fanart.tv and other web services for free it can add up on their end.Thanks -big benefit to me as well as I have a 18/2 connection.
