Thumbnails on a NAS without Internet Connection

    Hallo,

    my ODroid C2 with Libreelec 8.2.5 works without Internet Connection. All Database working is doing on a PC with Internet connection and saved on a MySQL Database on Synolygy NAS. The Thumbnials also saved on the NAS in a SMB Directory on the NAS. The shared Directory works. Access over "add source" is working. The User "kodi" has created on NAS and have the right to write and read on the Thumbnail directory.

    The problem is, the ODroid can only displayed all Thumbnails with Internet connection. But why must this be? It has to be dealt with access on "image.tmdb.org". Without acces to this URL the Thumbnails are not or not full displayed.

    I have put these lines in the advancessettings.xml

    <pathsubstitution>

    <substitute>

    <from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails</from>

    <to>smb://kodi:[email protected]/public/Thumbnails</to>

    </substitute>

    </pathsubstitution>

    Why the Libreelec still needed access to the internet (specialy "image.tmdb.org") to display Thumbnails?

    I don't use MySQL, I copy movies to an external drive, scan, & when I go away, I don't have internet, but the thumbs are there. You could try having the movies in individual folders.

    Another option, ember media manager? or thumbgen

    Perhaps, you need to ditch MySQL

    Or perhaps post this in the Kodi forum.
