Hi sometimes the addon I get my TV shows from would have episodes up that the thetvdb.com does not have a thumbnail for. Thus on my main screen when I scroll to TV Shows it would show an empty art for that episode. Today I checked thetvdb website and they had a new art for an episode, however on my XBMC the thumbnail still shows nothing. I have updated the library and still it doesn't work. How would we update the thumbnail art?

If rescraping your library doesn't fix it then no I am not sure how else you would do it.

You need to refresh the information for the episode and then you'll get to choose the new art. Reason is the source art URLs are stored in the database. There's a pull request helping to solve this, but it may not be complete in time for Gotham. PR3546

Such a shame, XBMC would be perfect with it as it doesn't look good with empty thumbnail artworks above the "TV Shows" tab. I know manually refreshing each episode solves this problem but it isn't a feasible solution since the user would need to know when the episode was released/updated in order to update the artwork.

What? It's a shame that this is being worked on?

Not what I meant; I meant it was a shame that it wouldn't be present in the upcoming update.

All you need to do is refresh the episode. It's not that much of an inconvenience.
