You can do thumbnailer-admin clear
That will wipe the cache completely, as if the thumbnailer had never run before. If the *same* albums always fail, it may well be because 7digital simply does not have artwork for those albums. Or, possibly, because some of the tags contain spelling errors. At any rate, you can do the following to start with a clean slate: $ cd ~phablet/.cache/upstart $ rm dbus* $ thumbnailer-admin clear Then start using your music collection as you normally would. If you keep an eye on dbus.log, it will tell you what happens for each thumbnail request. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to thumbnailer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559522 Title: Thumbnailer fails to fetch thumbnails from Internet Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I used Sound Juicer and ripperX to extract MP3s from my CDs. I copied my album to the phone, and I expected to see all album art in the Music scope and in the Music app, for every album in the phone. But, in some case Thumbnailer failed fetching album art from Internet (7Digital, I guess), and so Music scope is full of empty folders (see attachment).
