On adding Music into XBMC, I had Universal Artist/Album Scraper on, internet was working but at the end there was no artwork again, except for the old album covers which are embedded in the tags.

Guess I must be doing something wrong in the configuration. I have Audiodb enabled and whatever settings in Universal Scrapers cab be set are set to this where possible. Some settings allow no change from Allmusic.com but that addon is broken. I even disabled Eset Firewall and Virus protection for 10 min just to try.

Anyway thank you very much for helping. i will hunt around if I can find a step by step tutorial somewhere.

I dunno, I know you have to scan the music in to the XBMC Music library first before you can start using CDArtManager. The first time I ran CDArtManager it took a hell of a long time to build up its database I left it running over night.

As for Album covers I already had a hi-res folder.jpg in each albums folder also those cover images were embedded in to the mp3 files, so XBMC just displays my existing covers. There is an option in CDArtManager to get covers but I have never used it as I wanted the existing covers to be displayed. Think I also turned off in the Universal scraper any options to download covers.

When I scan the music in to the XBMC Music library as far as I am aware its the inbuilt Universal Music Artist and Album scrapers that get the fanart / thumb images and the bio's if available. To fill in any missing blanks I then updated TheAudioDB.com website as already stated and then reload those particular artists.

Once I was happy in the Artist view that each artist was showing an artist thumb image and background fanart (I use the Low List view for the Artists) I then started looking at CDArtManager.

CDArtManager was a bit tricky and took a while to get my head around and start working.You need it to build its database which I think you can force from the CDArtManager - Advanced - Modify Add-on Database - Refresh Add-on Database. This will force it to create a new database which should be done only after you have already got all your music in to the XBMC Music Library.

Now when I add new music I scan it in to the XBMC Music Library, check the new Artist(s) in the Artist view and add/edit TheAudioDB.com if required / reload any of those artists. I then go in to CDArtManager and select Advanced - Modify Add-on Database - Update Database.

Once the CDArtManager update has finished you then have to go to each type of artwork you want it to download for you, I do them all expect for albums covers, so for example in CDArtManager I would then go to:

AlbumCDArts - Automatic Download
Artist Fanarts - Automatic Download - Album Artists
Artist Clear Logos - Automatic Download - Album Artists
Artist Thumbs - Automatic Download - Album Artists (This actually overwrites the artists thumbs displayed by the initial Universal scraper scan. This is the folder.jpg in each artists folder)
Artist Banners - Automatic Download - Album Artists

Once I have ran each of these in CDArtManager it has then download all the available extra fanart in to each artists folder.

The only other tip I have is when viewing the artists in CDArtManager the green ones are recognised and the white ones are not. It uses http://musicbrainz.org/ so your artist folder names and the names of the artist in the MP3 tags should match as they are on http://musicbrainz.org/.

It took me months to figure out how all the artwork for all media types works in MQ4. I now have a fairly good understanding and have all available artwork being displayed in the UI, but I still don't know all the nitty gritty nuts and bolts of it all. IMHO artwork is the hardest thing to get to grips with in XBMC especially if you are a newish user like me who has migrated from MCE. In MCE codec were the hardest thing whereas in XBMC you don't need to give codec a second thought it just works out of the box!

The other big problem I had initially was my music folder structure was like this:

\\Server\Music\Genre\Artist\Album

XBMC does not like the Genre folders so I had to remove them and place all artists in the root music directory like

\\Server\Music\Artist1\Album1
\Album2
\\Server\Music\Artist2\Album1
\Album2

In Music source when you click up and then right arrow to go to ART from Collections, what is your images path root folder collection. I think this may have something to do to get respective fanart.

The path to music fanart should be the root of your music directory in my case SMB://WHS/MUSIC/

Can anyone else also confirm they have the same fields missing with TV Show meta-data ?









All my TV Shows scraped in to XBMC using TheTVDB.com scraper are missing this information in these fields.

Thanks
