Hello,
I just learned that Frodo will handle the Thumbnails/cache a bit differently which I am happy about. (From the Wiki: "The art URL's associated with library items are stored in the art table inside the video or music databases. These store the original URL to the art (e.g. from http://themoviedb.org, http://thetvdb.com, or http://theaudiodb.org). This means that central databases store where the art is obtained from, and multiple clients then just keep a local thumbnail cache as described below.)
I run a server with all my media and the mySQL db on it. For all my movies (~2000) I manually created a cover the way I like it. Same goes for TV show posters and season posters (~200 shows). So will the table be able to store the URL of my local server rather than moviedb, tvdb, etc?
So related to this I have a question: If my original URL is a local file on my server will it still work?
Second question: I currently use Dropbox and symlinked "Thumbnail" folders to have all my Eden clients use the same thumbnails. only one of my clients does the scraping. If I want to upgrade from Eden to Frodo do I first need to remove the symlinks and have all the Thumbnails as local files on every client?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere already, I wasn't able to find a definite answer.
thanks in advance,
SM
