Hi Jonathan
I have just been applying this across my home as i have moved all my media to my home server now and thought it was the best options to syncing thumbs across the network.
I used to have a scheduled copy moving thumbs to other systems but this is awesome instant thumb updating across the network.
Main reason for moving so early is that i would have to rehash all my thumbs. which i wrote some code for but decided it wasnt worth doing.
One thing i have come across is that i think its essential that there should be a option in the video setting to cache all thumbs as i am currently having to scroll through the movie library to cache them all which is a bit of a hastle.
Thanks,
Mark

You're out of GPU memory. No idea why it happens or why it crashes, but there's a ticket on trac - please add your details to that.

Hi,
Ok I will do that. Any ideas on the questions I posted in the two posts before that? Thanks, Mark |

The thumbs only cache as they're needed, yes - I don't see a problem with that to be honest. After all, you don't actually need to see them until, um, you see them.
Still, it'd be easy enough for an addon to be done up that could queue everything up I should think - it would require a little exposing of the texture cache, ofcourse, but that wouldn't be a problem (in some respects it would be useful for addons to queue up images before they'll be displayed for example).

Hi,
Yer that sounds like a great addition. The main reason is for speed. If i setup a new xbmc pc i would rather set it off caching all the thumbs/fanart for an hour or so. Then after that my experience will be smooth and quick. As it take some time to download the images as you scroll through the library if it has not been cached already. What did you think about my question at the end of page 4 about the thumb previews not appearing to be used for small icons like covers? Thanks, Mark |

If you're scanning on a new PC then they'll all be queued up anyway. If you're copying config from another PC, then just copy the Thumbnails + Texture databases over. No silly caching based on media paths that might change anymore - everything is cached on the image URLs instead.
Not sure what you're referring to by "thumb previews" ? Is this the dialog that loads when you "Get Thumb" ? If so, it's always been like that as far as I'm aware (for posters - fanart has a separate preview URL that we use if available).

Hi,
Yes i do mean copying over the config! Yer i did in the end copy over the thumbs manualy that wasnt a problem. It was just a feature suggestion rather than a fault .Code: <thumb preview="http://cf2.imgobject.com/t/p/w500/4rDV8TgaILHRfX1IRgpysjkD9A0.jpg">http://cf2.imgobject.com/t/p/original/4rDV8TgaILHRfX1IRgpysjkD9A0.jpg</thumb>Its the thumb preview i am talking about as show above. I dont think this i getting rendered for the smaller images like in the cover walls in movie view. These thumb preview links are not stored in the art table? does it just reference what is in the column in the movie table? I only noticed this because the small cover/thumb images are alot more pixelated and sometimes so much i cant read the text on the dvd covers. Thanks, Mark |

No, they're not scraped and not stored.
