In the LE13 nightly, the issue is solved. I'll skip LE12.

Just reporting my findings . The latest nightly (LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0-nightly-20250210) fixed it also, so all fine.

I was too quick with my conclusion. Same issues with the nightly. I'll stick to 11.0.6 and will try to get some logging.

I tried 11.0.6 yesterday and had my full collection scraped with artwork in 2 hours. A couple of reboots were needed as at some point (10-15 mins) scraping got very slow. No problems with not showing artwork however, even during scraping. Imho it's definitely something in the new kodi version. I'll stick to this version for now.

Thanks for your replies. Content is all local with external HDs, around 30 MB/s speed. That shouldn't be the bottle neck. I'll try to get some logging. Maybe I'll try an 11 version as well to see the difference.

If that's the case, I can understand the artwork wouldn't appear instantly after finishing the scraping. However, when refreshing a single item, the updating gets stuck after selecting the right movie or TV show. When cancelling, it takes minutes before the system gets responsive again. I never experienced this before in older Kodi systems with less hardware specs. Today I retested with a fresh install and scraping a limited set of movies. Same issues.

And if this is normal behavior, why didn't more people complain about it?

I did a clean reinstall of v12.0.2 Generic on a older PC (Athlon, AMD internal graphics) and scraped my complete movies collection (>1500) successfully (some scraper errors). On the main menu, artwork is showing up correctly. When I go to the Movies or TV shows menu, most of the artwork isn't showing up. Navigating the items works, all info is there except for the artwork. When I try to refresh a single item, the system gets very slow: refreshing doesn't work, after cancelling (up to minutes) the system is responsive again. No activity visible in the mean time.

The system has a fixed internet connection. Any ideas what I could look for to solve this?
