Cover Art / Fan Art loads extremely slow

Help and Support

Hi,

after using the Alpha version of OSMC (RPI 2) for the last two years I finally got around to install the newest version. After scraping all my movies a few days ago I’m facing the issue that the cover art / fan art isn’t loading.

With previous versions it took always some time and a few rounds of scrolling through the library after setting up a new system until it properly worked. But with the new version it still doesn’t work correctly. It sometimes takes 5 minutes till the correct cover appears.

Any ideas how I can get this working?

Thanks!

I suggest you install the Texture Cache Maintenance Utitly

It has a function to cache all artwork automatically.

To install ssh into device run

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MilhouseVH/texturecache.py/master/texturecache.py -o texturecache.py

then

chmod +x ./texturecache.py

To cache all artwork run

./texturecache.py c

Should be much faster then
