[x86-64] MP3 Covers Not Updating

    Hi,

    my problem is, that my MP3 Covers are not updated if i change them in the MP3-IDTag even if I update the Source in Kodi.

    I have LibreElec 11.0.5 installed on a ThinClient HP-T630 and works fine. About 1500 MP3s with covers in the IDTag inside running fine.

    I changed a few of the covers in the tags but Kodi still shows me the old ones.

    I tried different programs like MusicMonkey, MP3Tag and even Kodi on an Fire TV Stick. All of them show me the newest cover

    But not LibreElec-Kodi.

    Then after 2 days of trying I copied such an MP3 and renamed it in the same path.

    So now in the new file i see the new cover and in the old file the old cover also in LibreElec-Kodi.

    What am i doing wrong or why does Kodi do not update this covers.

    How can i fix this or is there another workaround to not copy my modified files


    Best regards

    After searching for cache i found this :

    I deleted this db-File and restarted and it helped, so my new Covers are visible.

    But this should not be the normal way, right ? Refreshing Library should affect this the same ...

    Should I raise a request somewhere or is there another solution in Kodi existing.

    Where do i find this directory ?

    If i look with Windows in the share or per SSH i see both the same like :

    It's there, but it's hidden, because .cache starts with a point. Your solution at post #4 is better, because you don't delete the complete cache. I guess it's possible to write an update script that only deletes the specific DB file from that cache folder.

    Hello Again,

    Meanwhile there is also a file called Textures14.db which has to be deleted in my system (LE13 nightly), too.
    I also always delete the directory Thumbnails.
    After reboot everything is created new.
    Done for several times without problems ...

    I store my covers exclusively in the MP3-tag. But now i found a problem, that with some single files there is another cover shown in LE13 than is located in my mp3.

    Mp3tag and VLC on my windows laptop show both the correct cover of the mp3 but Kodi shows a different cover.

    Same ID-Tag, KHz, Encoder, ... than my other files and only one cover is existing in each MP3.
    No other graphics files existing in this music folder.

    I can not find the root cause ...

    Any ideas ?
    Is there a way to see, from where Kodi gets its Coverimage ?

    Best regards
