When a title is scanned into Kodi's library, it creates thumbnail images of the artwork you have in you collection folders and stores them in it's database and displays the thumbnails in your skin. Kodi does not display the images that are in your collection folders. I'm not a programmer or familiar with anything beyond simple GUI operation and configuration. Anything I can do on the MCM side?Īs a side note, I've posted this issue and a few others to a few different Kodi forums and have gotten no help at all, so I'm close to giving up on the platform altogether unless there's someone offering paid premium support, which I'd gladly pay for. Any way to refresh these somehow? I've tried updating the library but that didn't work.
It grabbed the missing poster.jpg files for movies but Kodi won't import them. When it is done it give you a notice that it completed.Īn update. After the setting are selected, run the add-on and it will scan your complete collection and download the missing images. The add-on downloads thumbs for movies, TV series, and music videos. In Kodi the thumb.jpg images are downloaded with the Artwork Downloader add-on. With my library, that's a 10 hour or more task, and if/when Kodi hard crashes and needs to be rebuilt, it will all have to happen again anyways, so I really need to automate this! The only other way I can get these back is from within Kodi by manually refreshing every title. I'm not talking about season or episode thumbnails which were downloaded originally by MCM-those are still intact-just the overall TV show image or movie (for example: T:\Longmire\thumb.jpg or D:\Her\thumb.jpg).įor TV series, what I'm after is the portrait orientation studio thumbnail image (not fanart if possible).

I haven't been able to find a way within Kodi to fix this and I'm wondering whether I can get MCM to fetch missing movie and TV series thumbnails. About a third of the TV shows and most of my 500+ movies have no thumb.jpg thumbnail image in their respective folders, or it was reset to a wide banner image by Kodi when it "built" the library. While most of the problems have been solved there's one I cannot seem to fix.

I recently performed a full system rebuild last week with MCM and Kodi Jarvis.
