I have comics ---> Marvel & DC ---- Marvel has --X-Men ---inside all the cbr /cbz files , Wolverine, Spiderman, Fear Itself / Civil War ..., similarly DC have Batman / Action Comics/ Superman /Infinite Crises/ new 52 in theor own folders and then cbr/cbz.
What i have done is put a folder.jpg & fanart for each parent folder .
Can you please guide me on how to get all these ( about 2000 ) comics all scraped via AL ( i have them already scraped via comicvine using comicrack .. which i intend to use via AL ).
Is it possible for just 1 instance of AL to scrape & manage all these different comics ?
Would I need a seperate instance of AL for each individual Comic Character e.g Batman / X-men etc ..
how many instances of AL can be used simultaneously
Could there be any other way Angelscry to do this .. you were thinking uptil recently to create an addon for comics itself ?
I am determined this time to do this once & for All so Please Please help ..
Dugan if you have a setup working well for comics please you could help guide me as well

Also do I make seperate thumbs & fanart folders for ALL the launchers ? for e.g Batman has its own thumbs / fanart folders etc etc

Are you sure this drive was well mounted when you wanted to access it? Does the XBMC user have the read/write autorization on this folder?

I did what you are using personally I have put / setup covers / fanart for each launcher e.g Action comics .. will have its own covers/fanart , I set the correct patch but still its doing the same. is there any database or any setting to refresh individual launcher ?
