Personally what I do is create advancedsettings.xml, delete Thumbnails folder then delete textures.db file from the Database folder. Then reboot and your thumbs will be repopulated fresh onto the SD Card.(2021-07-06, 15:00)FXB78 Wrote: 3GB will probably be enough for you, but if you have a spare SD Card you can put things like thumbnails on there as per https://kodi.wiki/view/Path_substitution
So for path substitution my advancedsettings.xml looks like this:
Code:<advancedsettings>
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
<to>/var/media/SDCARD/Thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>
That was of great help, exactly what I was looking for. My current CoreELEC installation has thumbnail folder of approx 2GB size. With this I can free up huge space.
After modifying the advancedsettings.xml do I need to move the "thumbnails" folder to SDcard manually or it is taken care by Kodi/CoreELEC?
Thanks
