newest nightly build - 3 new BUGS

This is incorrect. You're welcome to read the code yourself if you wish. VideoInfoScanner.cpp - see GetArtwork, and note that it only ever calls CTextureCache::BackgroundCacheImage(), which does exactly what it says it does.

not that i don't trust you, don't get me wrong here. Only trying to help (since i did with a few other bugs).
But yeah i can do that.

Anyway: this is what i get (fresh xbmc, no userdata or whatsoever):

- Movies: everythings fetched directly, no background work
- tv-shows: backgrounded/queued, but only if they are shown (big list (confluence skin), 3 pages long, 1 page of the list being shown)

I let it scrape, after 30 mins he was still there where i left the tv-show library (my connection is good, 16mbit, no downloads or whatsoever running parellely, tested it with eden on other pc, scraped everything directly, was done in less then 2 mins)!

Don't trust me: try it yourself (fresh install, scrape a few movies, then a few empty folders (tv-shows))

The debug log will show you that it was downloading art off-thread.

I'll check that (it wasn't necessary till now, since it obviously didn't)!

30mins vs. 2mins: doesn't make any sense to me.

@jmarhsall: I recently "lost" almost all my movie fanart and posters, meaning when I browse the library there's no pictures showing. Looking at the log I'm getting a lof of these:


The reason for the "unable to stat url" is that it returns a 403 (in XML). Is this in any way related to the recent scraping updates?[/php]

Yes - it's because you have old/stale links. Nothing we can do about it. You would have gotten the same issue in Eden if you wanted to change the thumb/fanart to something else.

You'll need to refresh each item that doesn't work (likely all of em). Set content to None, clear them out, Set content back to Movies, scrape. You will not lose watched status if you do it by this method.

Wait, are you saying I basically need to re-scan my whole library? That's going to be painful.

firsly to say i think this update is great and definitely the way forward.
but i have just had exacly the same issue updated and i cant find 90% of my images as the links are stale? the genaral user is not going to want to redo his whole library of images.
is there a way that it can scape all original hashed images into the new format?

No. There may be a way to update the old http:// URLs to the new ones, however. I suggest making a note of the old URLs it's fetching for a particular movie, then refresh the movie to grab the new URLs and see if there's a way to generate them from the old one.

If there is, I'd be happy to incorporate that in the backward compatibility stage.

Hi,

just been looking at a couple and i cant see any way that they could relate.

I also found that i couldnt select a new fanart for the movie after it had lost them from the update all the remote fanart images stayed blank.(EDIT i can only see the bottom thumb in the list how strange)
I had to "Reload" the movie to get the list of remote thumbs and fanart back?

btw what is imgobject.com? why do all the urls go thought here?

Thanks,
Mark
