Download images in advance (LOCAL thumbs)

[gokuz 13]

Ok, I have scraped all of my files beforehand using TMM.

Naruto S01E01.mp4
Naruto S01E01-thumb.jpg
Naruto S01E01.nfo

Now, the issue is whenever I plug off my HDD from the server, the thumbs are all gone. This doesn't happen to my other TVshows that I scraped using TVDB.

/metadata/library is the location of cached thumbs. 

How do I transfer/cache all of my locally stored "-thumb.jpg" to /metadata/library ? So whenever I plug off my HDD, it won't have any blank pictures. 

 

Like how KODI works, all of my posters and thumbnails are all intact regardless of the media being present or not. How do I do this?

You can't as local images will take priority.  There are feature requests to cache local images so this does not happen.

Local images take priority above what? From what I gather /metadata/library is empty.

It's not even writing anything to metadata. Saying the word priority needs at least 2 things to compare. Its only 1.

 

What you linked is a 2018 request that's not been implemented. It's lost cause.

It wont since there is a local image in the folder.  There are topics about users wanting this offline scenario, but when there is really only one developer things take time.

Even plex, with their non-one developer do not have this feature. Oh well.

It's certainly not a lost cause. It's possible for the future. Thanks.
