@aral @Gargron you can force a manual refresh on the server-side using the `tootctl media refresh`. This should update the image. There is also a `tootctl accout refresh` command.

I'm not sure myself if you need both, I think the media one should be enough, but just for completeness.

@sheogorath But surely account profile images update after a while anyway, right? :)

(I’m with @mastohost for my instance ­– as I don’t have the headspace to maintain/update a system designed for 100,000+ people when I’m using it just for me – so sadly no shell access. Hugo, is this something you could do for me?)

CC @Gargron

@aral That should auto update, don't know how long it will take though.

I believe you can force it via the web interface. Can you please try and go to Moderation->Accounts and find the Owncast account. Then click to enter the account details and you will have a button to "Refresh Profile". Let me know if that doesn't work and I can do it via Tootctl.

@mastohost

Hey Hugo, thanks. Had already tried that but just did it again, just in case. Says it’s refreshed but not even the statistics are refreshed in that view (they are elsewhere). The profile pic stays the same.

@sheogorath @Gargron

@aral Done it via tootctl and only returned OK, so it should be updated. Did it change on your end?

@sheogorath @Gargron

@mastohost Haha, was just writing you to say it had. Thanks again :)

@aral I understood :)

@aral Great but that's strange. I assumed it did the same via command line or the refresh button. It looks like there is a difference.

@sheogorath @Gargron

@mastohost Yeah, the refresh button doesn’t seem to do much of anything as far as I can see. Assuming its a bug.
