I have my movie collection on 6 external drives & can only have two plugged into my media box at a time. I have just noticed that the mini posters for movie sets are only showing for movies on drives that are connected, the others are just an empty space. The large posters for any film is showing up fine if the drive is disconnected, just not the mini ones. Is this something that can be fixed within the skin or do you have any other solutions?
Cheers
Usually, things such as that are covered by the Kodi cache, so even when the media is gone, the cache covers you. The posters for movie sets are a feature of Skin Helper, and it performs an "on the spot" check and produces those images. I don't think that there's a cache for them, they're made from scratch every time, which is why you have a split second delay before they appear, and also why you don't get anything when your drive is unplugged.
I suppose it's made that way so that you can get the most accurate reading. Without a cache, when you add or remove another movie into or from the set, it would show up instantly. Sadly, this pretty much means that until SH changes some behaviours, there's nothing I can do.
Alanon,
Thanks for the help, perhaps I'll post on the Skin Helper thread & see if anything can be done.
