So, sounds Android related in some way, but must be fairly specific given the amount of android installs out there and only two reports.

Can you both please confirm the version of Kodi that you are running and the Android version.  In fact, if you can both grab a debug log (wiki) of you starting Kodi and opening the movie library then that info should be in it.  Hopefully there will be something common to both logs that will help identify the issue.

Cheers.

Quick question!  Are both of you using mariadb for your shared db?  If so, which version?

Quick question!  Are both of you using mariadb for your shared db?  If so, which version?

As you can See in The Log Mariadb 10.5.4

Elroban ist using The Same Version.

I also had The Problem with Version 10.5.3

I also Tried older Versions down to 9.x.x

[Elroban]

Mariadb in an Docker indeed.

Moved to Android

It is indeed Android-only and MariaDB only. As you can see in my thread: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=355513

Switch to MySQL and everything should be fine, migrating the data is easy either using the command line or an IDE like MySQL Workbench.

[Klojum]

Switch to MySQL and everything should be fine

No, it is not because it doesn't solve the actual problem with MariaDB.

Well, yes, I was just providing a workaround until the problem is solved.

Moved to MySQL and everything is Working fine.

But The Log still Shows create Errors while creating The Thumbnail folders localy when nas storage is used in advancedsettings.

[link611]

Yepp, still Problems to obtain thumbnails. Existing ones getting shown but new ones will Not get loaded/saved.

The issue specific to Android builds and MariaDB v10.5.4, is caused by the version of MariaDB connector currently used by Kodi, PR to fix (for v19) https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/18137 which updates the Connector software.

Hi,
Is there any solution to this issue?
I'm using Kodi version 18.8 with MySQL DB v5.6.48.0
I'm getting the same errors with my Thumbnails folder shared via SMB.
There is no error on Windows 10, but only on Firestick 4K running android.
Existing thumbnail folder are loading but new ones not creating.

My SMB path share code is:

xml:
  <pathsubstitution>

  <substitute>

    <from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>

    <to>smb://USERNAME:[email protected]/Thumbnails/</to>

  </substitute>

  </pathsubstitution>

Here is my log:
