It doesn't use them anywhere. They're not scraped, nor are they stored. It's worth adding, I agree. A patch would be most welcome Smile

Compare how fanart is done basically. You'd need to add a preview variable to CScraperUrl::SUrlEntry and then add a retriever function for that similar to GetThumbURLs(). Lastly, you'd add support for retrieving the i-th real URL from the CScraperUrl.

You'd also need to hookup the scraper to return XML with the preview in it - not sure if it does yet already.

A nice project should someone be interested I think.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Is there any difference between the artwork/files used in Eden and Frodo? Not sure if I successfully have rescraped by removing content and set content back again...

That should work. They will only be downloaded when they are actually needed and that's done as a side process

So the artwork is the same (.tbn-files), just different in how it´s now with a link in the db?

Correct.

You do not have to rescrape or anything. The thumbloader thread includes backward compatibility code that updates the video database with the URL to the art files as you view them. Further, the actual art will then be cached at that point.

Rescanning will essentially by-pass this process, filling the art table directly, so there's nothing wrong with doing that. Further, rescanning will also queue up all the caching jobs.
