Aeon65 Extra Thumbs won't update
#1
I am having issues with XBMC updating the new extra thumbs that I'm changing to new pictures.

XBMC had no problem finding my extra thumbs, I use Aeon and it shows 4 extra thumbs at once on my view for movies. Using media ember it had in some cases used the same image twice or used the same fanart as the main background one.

This bothered me so I went ahead and found different pictures for the ones I wanted to change and replaced them. Lo and behold xbmc does not want to update these no matter what I do.

I have done the following attempts at fixing (and prob others I forgot):
1.Remove the source folder of my movies, clean library, and then reload my movie folder.
2. Going to "refresh" in each of those movies' info area.
3. Choosing update library.
4. Rescanning the source.
5. Going into my userdata folder and deleting my video.db file in the database area, deleting the videos folder in thumbnails.

I found deleting the thumbnails in userdata did remove the pictures I did not want but also a bunch of other random stuff so I made sure to go through each folder 1,2,3...a,b,c..etc and deleted the few thumbnails that annoyed me.

Which brings me to my current situation, those thumbnails are no longer showing BUT now xbmc will not load in my new ones. Before it had no problem adding in new ones to the movies that did not have all 4 thumbs.

Help me please this is making me crazy, and sadly making me drop xbmc altogether soon and going back to Boxee. Only problem is Boxee glitches all the time and is not as customizable

I'm having the same problem as well. Tried reloading the movie but the extra thumbs still won't update.

It's just the way XBMC now caches images outside the media folder:

Quote:If using a merge version XBMC is now caching all images which makes it hard to change a logo. If you delete userdata/Database/textures.db that will cause XBMC to re-cache all images. Just one of those things we got to do for things that are 'cutting edge'

While I was referencing logos the same applies for extrathumbs or any non-media folder image. I just 2x checked and this way still works...

Thanks. Deleting the textures.db and updating the library again somehow refreshes the extra thumbnails. Thanks for the headsup. Now where can I download more extra thumbnails instead of extracting it one by one using Ember Media Manager hmm...

thanks I appreciate it! Sadly I had become so annoyed that I went back to confluence for a smoother experience. Not sure if the dharma beta was slow or if it was the aeon65 skin causing slowdown.
