So.. you say I'm still seeing this old cached version because I havn't refreshed it. How do I refresh it? I always thought the "Reload" function in the aeon skins should do this, reload nfo, poster, fanart etc. Everything gets loaded for me except the poster, it stays at whatever cached version is there since weeks ago.. I just reloaded data for this tv show with the following file formats and the thumb which aeon is showing hasn't updated.
poster.tbn - no change after reload - no change after xbmc restart
folder.jpg - no change after reload - no change after xbmc restart
poster.jpg - no change after reload - no change after xbmc restart
Dexter.jpg - no change after reload - no change after xbmc restart
Dexter.tbn - no change after reload - no change after xbmc restart
Changing the thumb size wouldn't solve this problem because the files arn't getting reloaded at all in this case.... reloads don't show the new files in the info dialog at all... the cache doesn't reload.
Changing the thumb size is a great idea, but that would mean even small versions of the poster used in showcase type views would have those much larger textures used when only tiny versions of them are needed. I would much rather have the skin have the ability to choose where to use original / scaled versions of the poster (coming in the future of course).... so for the moment I like workarounds like letting the skin load the movie.tbn file in the info dialogs... I will try to find such a workaround for tv shows... movie.tbn isn't used there...(just asked the aeon guys if thats under their control) if I can just resolve the reload problem at least first
If I use the "get thumb" I can choose a thumb from disk and it then gets displayed so my quesiton surround this is should "reload" also reload the poster into the db again from disk... by design... if so theres a problem.
Also if I then select "get thumb" and choose "None", the last thumb selected reappears after again. ie it doesn't get.. cleared or whatever. (maybe aeons problem, I'll retest this with confluence)
