Images for shows are not being downloaded - Pieter - 2025-06-17
Hi, I noticed that images for some TV shows are not being downloaded.
When I look at the show it does have various ID's for IMDB, TVDB, MovieDB, etc.
If I manually identify, and use the same e.g. IMDB id, then images are immediately shown and downloaded.
1) Is there a way to filter by missing artwork?
2) Is there a way to force downloading of artwork?
3) Is there maybe something wrong with my setup?
Running 10.10.7 on Docker on Debian.
I did find lots of ERR entries for failing to create TrickPlay images.
Also a few DB locked errors:
E.g.
Code:

RE: Images for shows are not being downloaded - bitmap - 2025-06-19
Full logs would help us trace the issue. Are you running out of disk space where trickplay or metadata would download? The DB locking may be a separate issue, but possibly related -- databases are not my forte...

I looked at current logs and could not find a DB lock error, I do see lots of trickplay failed errors, lots of space available.
