Hi,

After having setted all new movie informations from IMDB.... my tv shows me the first frame as thumbnails for most of my films.
Some films show the correct poster, but i suppose oly the ones scraped some time ago, none of the ones I scraped today work.

In the thumbnail view in WMS everything is right and the correct image is showed.
I have to delete the thumbnail file to show the correct one, it should have deleted the old file on editing the thumbnail, instead add a new file and shows the old one.

Any idea ?

Inside WMS I look for a thumbnail on IMDB, select and ok. I see the selected thumbnail in WMS windows.

When i look on the TV I still see the old thumbnail (i mean the first frame of the movie) instead of the new thumbnail from IMDB that i see on the PC.

I have noted that in the thumbnail folder there are both the IMDB jpg and the first frame JPG,
To make things work I have to delete the first frame JPG from the thumbnail folder, then load again from IMDB the correct image using the WMS interface.

At this point the problem is I already did a long work to select for all my movies the correct IMDB image and I would not do it again. So is there a way to correct the error (in a next versione for example). Remember that in WMS everything is alright. The correct thumbnail is shown. Just on the TV i see the first frame of themovie thumbnail.

I repeated the problem. To solve this problem now, you can resize the thumbnail in the program settings. I will try to solve this problem.
