v19 Some actor thumbnails downloaded during scraping, others only added when viewing info
#1
I've been battling with this for ages now. I've set Kodi to download actor thumbnails when scraping. This works, but only about roughly half of the actor thumbnails are downloaded during scraping. The rest is only downloaded when I view the movie (or TV episode info) and scroll through the cast. (There are 9,397 actors in the database at this time; scrolling through that manually is a bit of a drag.)

Why is that and what can I do about it? There's nothing in the logfile that points at the cause. Just lots of this:

2021-10-13 10:56:40.057 T:1415459712 NOTICE: LoadJpeg: unable to load https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/gjag...i5ncef.jpg
2021-10-13 10:56:46.344 T:1243300736 WARNING: COMXImageFile::GetCodingType progressive images not supported by decoder
2021-10-13 10:56:47.251 T:1243300736 WARNING: Previous line repeats 1 times.

But it always does that, also when I download the missing thumbnails "manually" (i.e. when paging through the cast) and I understand this has to do with image encoding that my RPi3 cannot decode in the GPU and must therefore do in software. The URL that Kodi is "unable to load" does point to the image in question, so it' not a HTTP 404 issue.

Any ideas?
