Music Library - new albums don't auto select thumbnail - ears - 2015-09-29

Hi,

Strange issue with Kodi 15.1. Using rc1 but I don't see a fix stated in the RC2 notes.

When I add a new album to my collection I run an update in Kodi and it picks it up. It's added to the list of albums in the library.

But no thumbnail is displayed. I always get the placeholder one.

But if I go into the album, right click, album information, then click on 'thumbnail' it gives me the option to 'use existing' and shows that it's there. Once I click on it and go back,. refresh, the thumbnail is present and is then used.

This is a bit inconvenient though as I have a couple of Kodis that run headless, with no monitor and I can't do that manual update on those installs.

Is this intentional or a bug?

It's using the universal album and artist scrapers.

My guess is that it just hadn't been cached yet. I like to use a "thumbnail" view or similar and you can see the art fill in.

Thanks - is there an easy way to do that when it's headless and I can't see any video output?
