Image used in Videos->Files not changing when image is changed - larrycook99 - 2021-09-15
I am using Amber to on Kodi 19 to organize my large collection of movies and tv shows in ISO format.
An issue that I have run into is when I setup an image to be shown for a folder. If I change the image file contents, the image shown is not changed. I assume that it is being cached somewhere and I want to know how do I get the system to recognize the new image.
An example folder:
TV Shows 1
thumb.jpg
Jonny Quest (1965)
thumb.jpg
Season 1
thumb.jpg
Jonny Quest (1965) S01E01-E07.iso
Jonny Quest (1965) S01E01-E07-thumb.jpg
MASH (1972)
thumb.jpg
Season 1
thumb.jpg
MASH (1972) S01E01-E08.iso
MASH (1972) S01E01-E08-thumb.jpg
In this example TV Shows 1/thumb.jpg is originally a Jonny Quest image and when I hover over TV Shows 1 in Videos->Files it is displayed properly. If I then change that JPG to a different image from MASH, the Jonny Quest is still shown. If I delete TV Shows 1/thumb.jpg, then the generic folder icon is shown. If I then replace TV Shows 1/thumb.jpg with the MASH image, the Jonny Quest image is shown. How can I force the system to recognize and display the changed image?

Wait 24 hours.

If you are comfortable with SQL, you can edit the lasthashcheck entry in the textures table of Textures13.db to a time and date at least 24 hours in the past.

Another thought, since KODI can be run on Windows, there is no reason I couldn't test things out in that environment, is there?

In fact, that is my development environment for Amber and also the OS for my main Kodi instance.(2021-09-16, 02:14)Karellen Wrote:Unfortunately I haven't done any SQL in 10+ years.
