I've updated the Season artwork for a TV series. The old artwork still shows on some of them until you arrow over to it and land on it the new correct artwork pops up replacing the old one. It has been a few days and is still happening with the same Seasons. Is there some cache I need to clear?

This is on a client PC running the latest release.

Thanks,

Ken

The quick fix is to disconnect your Client from the Server, then on the Client go to;

C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 23\Thumbnails

In there you will find multiple sub-directories with names that look like CLSIDs. i.e. A long list of characters inside {} brackets.

Check the size of each. The largest sub-directory is likely the Thumbnails for your Server based Library. Delete that sub-directory. MC will rebuild the thumbnails when you reconnect the Client to the Server Library.


The above assumes that the thumbnails are working on the MC Server. If they are doing the same thing there, then under "Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails" you could try "Build missing thumbnails" and if that doesn't work then "Erase all thumbnails" then "Build missing thumbnails", but that is pretty drastic. The problem shouldn't happen on the MC Server if you used the "Cover Art > Get From Internet" function. It can happen if you just put a new file of the correct name into the \Cover Art\Seasons\ sub-directory, as it takes MC a while to detect the change, and it only builds the thumbnail when it has detected the change. The Cover Art image file, and the thumbnail shown in most places in MC, are different entities.

PS: I know the above because sometimes the Client side thumbnail index can get corrupted or messed up. Deleting the cache as above allows MC to rebuild the cache and its index. There was a thread some time back that worked through the issue.

Thanks I'll give it a shot.

That did the trick. I only had 1 directory. Inside that I saw "Thumbnails (large).jmd" and "field (thumbnail offset large.jmb".

Deleting both of those made it work. It appeared the (Thumbnails (large).jmd ) was the one that did the job.

Thanks again Roderick....
