Refresh poster view making them show immediately after scraping movie info with IMDb

[mikey79]

hi!

i have problems with my movies' posters:

in each movie's folder, i have one .nfo file, only containing an url to help the imdb scraper with its work. scraping also works fine in general, the movie's infos are gathered successfully, except that the poster is not shown immediately.

once i scrape a movie's details, the poster is not showing at all in the movie folder view but it does how in the movie's detail dialog. once i exit that dialog again, go one folder up and return to the movie again, the poster suddenly appears.

i am not sure if you get what i mean:

1. i go into the my movie folder view (showing all subdirs, and each contains one movie)

2. i scrape one movie's infos via imdb: the infos are gathered, but the poster does not show up

3.) i switch into the movie's info dialog. here, all works well, the poster is shown.

4.) i return to the movie folder view, the poster is still missing.

5.) i go back into the parent's folder, enter the movie folder again, and voilà: the poster is suddenly there.

how can i force xbmc to display the poster immediately? it gets really annoying for me to need to call each movie's info dialog first in order for xbmc to show all posters...

my xbmc svn revision is 15632.

It's a long standing issue with how we cache thumbs. Will probably require a complete rewrite to work more correctly than it does now, hence won't happen until after Atlantis has been released.

Sounds like multiple issues to me:

1. The thumb is not being scraped initially by the looks. Does the info window take a little bit of time to pop up, and the log indicate that the thumb was downloaded when the info window was popping up?

2. The thumb should be set for the item just fine after exiting from the window - it works for me at least. Is this easily reproducible with Beta1 for you?
