Where to report Bugs??

Post by randersby »

Hi Xbmc4xbox.

I have a bug, who have pissed me off for a very long time now.
When i update my folder.jpg box/movie poster or icon to a movie folder,
xbmc dont update the picture/icon, i still see the same picture/icon (dont know to call it picture or icon, it is a movie cover picture).
but i would like to report that bug.

Regards

You would need to register (Top right corner) and wait for BuZz to activate your account.

But this is not a bug, this is because the images are still in cache and not getting automatically reloaded.

Which is normal, we don't want the icons to refresh every time you load a menu. It would make things much slower.
Same goes for mainline. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Thumbnails/Cache

To make things more easy you can also use Dan Dar3 script. :)

just a small note - that accounts are not longer manually activated since the addition of a captcha. part from that. xphazer is probably right :)

For now you can install it manually. Unzip and upload to Q:/plugins/programs.
Dan Dar3 might be able to add it to the Addons4Xbox repository if he want to.

You can get the Thumbnails plugin using SVN Repo Installer > xbmc4xbox-addons. I'll see how to integrate that integrate that with Addons4Xbox...

In you case though, I don't know whether it will make much difference, it only removes thumbnails for entries that cannot be found in the library - it was meant really to cleanup temporary thumbnails generated by online plugins, or after entries that were removed from the library.

I think it would be fairly expensive for XBMC4Xbox to check whether a folder.jgp has changed each time you visit a screen - what you can try though, if you added the entry to library and changed folder.jpg after, you can either remove the entry and add again, or simply "right click" on the respective movie > Movie Information > Get Thumb > Browse > your folder.jpg
