(feature request)tempory thumbnail cache for video plugins?

Post by Redneck9 »

Will it be possible to add an option for temporary thumbnail cache for video plugins?

I would want to see this option.

While plugins like Apple Trailers and a few others work better with cached thumbnails, many plugin thumbnails(youtube search results) just take up space and require user maintenance.

Will this option be possible for any future 3.3 series releases or perhaps 3.4?

If you meant to clean thumbnails created by various plugins from web resources when browsing their categories, you can try this Thumbnails plugin I wrote (install with SVN Repo Installer > xbmc4xbox-addons > plugins > programs) = http://code.google.com/p/xbmc4xbox-addo ... humbnails/

As a general rule features requests should be made in Redmine (a task repository), see the Development tab up at the top, for Developer(s) to see them.

On the other hand, there's only one member doing development at the moment (Buzz) so it's very likely that a lot of these requests will not be made reality, unless they are in the areas that he chose to focus on.

A much better chance of getting this is to request a / this feature from mainline XBMC and once they implement it in, it can be retrofitted into XBMC4Xbox with a much less effort.
