Can someone explain to me how thumbnails are cached. I have a very extensive movie collection on my box (about 700) the IMDB scraper works great but it pulls some really crappy thumbnails down alot of the time. I went to cdcovers.cc and downloaded and cropped about 300 covers and went to the get thumb section and i temporarily stored the thumb i created on the f:\ after adding that image i was able to delete it off of the f:\ and the thumb was still their, so it is obviously caching it somewhere. So my question is where is it, because i would like to back it up, i spent alot of time adding these DVD covers manually and would be really sad if i lost them all.
Now assuming that i can back them up, if my hard drive were to crash tomorrow on my xbox and i put a new hard drive in, put the same fodler structure i had before in it and put the same movies inthe folders and i restored the movie database i exported and I then restored the cached thumbnails would everything be back to normal?
Thanks for the help, and this is without a doubt the best sking available for XBMC.

brentcatoe, this is unrelated to xtv. There what date of XBMC do you have. The more recent ones have a more sophisticated thumbnail scraper, grabbing multiple hi-quality thumbs you can choose from.

i realized that after posting and I dont know how to move it to the general help area. I am running the latest SVN though, but the images it pulls are usually low quality, misaligned movie posters. I found a few things in the XBMC manual though about caching. I just was more concerned about if my hard disk crashed if I would have to redo everything or if i would be able to restore it.

It's beautiful. Thanks Chief and all.
Is it possible to replace the YouTube option with any other script? I never use youtube on the xbox and would much prefer to replace it with Retro-X.
