I have added a feed that contains images. Does serviio download all of the images right away or does it download them when they are needed?

Can i change it to only download them when they are viewed? I have alot of images on my server 10000+
it would be nice if serviio only download the full images when they are viewed, would not stress my web server that much.

No, they are only downloaded when needed ... serviio only serves as a 'proxy'

my images are resized before they are sent to save bandwidth, so if serviio want file size of the images the server has to resize all of them.
why does serviio need the file size?

Does the client need the file size of the thumbnails also?
What happens if the clients get the wrong file size of the images?

for thumbnails, they are cached and downloaded for each image (if they exist in the feed xml).
wrong file size - probably depends on the client

so serviio downloads the thumbnails directly when it reads the feed, not when the TV want the thumbnail?

yes, otherwise the browsing experience would be rubbish (too slow)

no chance in next version to add an option cache of thumbnails?
