My Media Center Services/App request.

Small feature request.. Would there be a way either from the app or the services to add a way to refresh the artwork/caches? In case yammm pulls down incorrect artwork? I have no issues finding and deleting files/folders etc but some novice may not want to go poking around through files to find and delete a cache. It would be nice if somehow yammm did pull incorrect artwork that it could be adjusted to the desired artwork/metadata as well. I have a few movies that show up with either Spanish or Russian artwork for my collection that I would like to be able to edit in an easier manner. I know Motz has helped me with one issue regarding this but I can see where it could become a pain having to vote for artwork all the time to get the app to pull desired artwork by the end user. I use Media Center Master to pull artwork and metadata (sorry Michael) for my movies for use with Media Browser.. Could Yammm be made to search the file folders first for existing artwork and just copy/resize for use with the My Media Center App? Sorry if this is a bit off topic..

I decided to post this in its own thread, I originally typed it up as a reply to another post but decided not to take that OP post too off topic please ignore the last sentence of the post as editing a post via tapatalk on WP that is lengthy is a pain! LOL

Judging by the way YAMM hammers my hard drive every time I make a change in it's settings, I always assumed it was re-scanning everything. Have you tried just deleting the problem artwork (and maybe the .xml file, and then making a minor change to the settings (adding a dummy folder to the library, for example)?

Michael has been working on integration of the latest themoviedb.org's API v3. With this it should handle any issues of pulling incorrect artwork.
