Kodi maintenance - some good information

[sblabs]

yeah i think its a waste of time to do the Thumbnails every time imo once a month or 2 for a full clear out will do. other wise my boxes are running fine.

Just going on what I have read on the above post - I thought I would give it a go. I have not experienced anything different at all.
I think your on the right track - Thumbnails probably once every couple of months. Im not sure if clearing cache/packages is gonna make any difference going on the original post so Ill probably do this on a monthly and leave thumbnails so they load quicker.

ok i cleared cacche and packages but didnt clean thumbnails for a month
i found Specto was strugling finding sources and i used ares wizard to clear thumbnails and it worked str8 away

Whats interesting is you take part of it as valid and dismiss the rest.

Do you know what packages are?
Do you know that kodi manages them anyway as a default function?

You see - i dont see how scraper code is affected by thumbnails - I havent looked at Specto code - but did when it was genesis and theres no correlation - its looking for files on remote sites, not on your local drive?!

There has to be something else going on - thumbs are unconnected to scrapers or their performance. That much is in the code itself.
