swhitmore 781 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Is there anyway to force a refresh and have it completely replace existing metadata and images? I used to use this feature in MetaBrowser to clean up everything. I find a lot of the time when I fetch metadata and images, they get updated with better ones over a few weeks. It would be great to be able to schedule a force refresh once a month or something, and if possible, select the collections which I want to do.
swhitmore 781 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) or enable tmdb and tvdb updates. How well does that work? I've enabled both, but I have items that are a little older and haven't been updated, maybe from before I've enabled that option. (to be honest I never read that correctly and actually knew what it was, it's a great feature!) Edited November 5, 2013 by swhitmore
Luke 40079 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 example? i'm not aware of any current issues with it, although that's not to say there aren't any.

I just noticed a bunch of TV shows where the episode thumb was out of date. It actually had the extracted thumb since the tvdb one probably wasn't available at the time. I manually deleted them and ran a refresh. A refresh on it's own didn't seem to replace it. I can get ID numbers etc. if you like?
Luke 40079 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 this is where we're different from mb2 and more like metabrowser. deleting the images isn't going to cause them to re-download. you have to force refresh those items, which could be done at a higher level to get them all at once.

Yeah, but a refresh didn't seem to update it. It only worked after I deleted the image first.
swhitmore 781 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 we don't replace existing images. Yeah, I figured that. I was sort of aiming for that in the feature request. Is there a possible way for adding the option to force replace existing images? 1
