Can you be a bit more specific here? Which cover? In the UI you see it revert? The actual cover file that gets downloaded and stored on disk? The cover embedded in to the audiobook itself?

I'm rebuilding RAID matrix, I will let you know in 3 days. As far as I remember If I replaced cover.jpg with new cover.jpg ( only on HDD) did re-scan, the change was not seen by ABS. ABS did not populate DB with new cover, because the filename was the same.
