No extrathumb-caching with Multiplex View

I already wrote about that problem in another thread, but i thought it might be interesting for some more people.
While using the Multiplex-View with the Big Extrathumbs in the middle. The Extrathumbs dont get cached. I started the debug log:

With Multiplex/Bigthumbs it says:

17:56:11 T:4344 M:929505280 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting D:\Movies\HD\XYZ\extrathumbs\
17:56:14 T:4344 M:930476032 ERROR: Previous line repeats 1 times.

17:56:27 T:4344 M:876335104 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 1 times.



with any other View with extrathumbs:

17:57:59 T:12220 M:1025998848 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 1 times.
17:57:59 T:12220 M:1025998848 DEBUG: CTextureCache::GetImageHash - unable to stat url D:\Movies\HD\XYZ\extrathumbs/thumb1.jpg

No idea?

should be a simple code change...

Ok,i guess I have to wait then
Hope your situation at work will be a bit more relaxing soon

Will this get fixed?

How does it behave in Showcase view? I just checked the code and it is virtually identical, so I don't see that there should be a problem (I'm don't have access to my library at the moment for a proper test).

Thanks,

With the HDD disconnected it looks like this (even if the HDD was connected before,to cache):


with connected HDD it looks like this (of course ) :


Here are my settings:


Showcase-View is working. Small Extrathumbs are getting cached. But not the big ones in the middle of Multiplex-View

I'll have to take a look at it again tomorrow. I'm guessing extra fanarts and extra thumbs are being handled differently. Someone else was kind enough to adapt the multiplex view to Neon, so I'm not sure...

The difference is an <image> control specifies a specific image (thumb1.jpg, thumb2.jpg etc) vs a <multiimage> that just looks in a folder for images and presents them randomly - these are not cached.

I can probably work up a workaround, but it's not a priority for me. It will require the fanart to be static as a multiimage control requires the images to be local.
