Hi Piers
I've still not been able to get Artwork Downloader to run automatically after a Video Database Update scan. Don't know why that is not working for me?
I manually ran Artwork Downloader in full Auto mode against my entire library and that worked OK and downloaded lots of new artwork files for my older movies etc. It took ages to complete but now its done and all the artwork is up to date.
However I have also added Artwork Downloader Solo Mode to the "Choose Art" menu.
To do this I edited the file called "Custom_MediaDialog.xml" in the following folder:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.1080xf\1080i
I could see the section that you had commented out to remove the options for get banner and get clearart. Under here I just added the following code:
Code:
<item id="5">
<description>Get Artwork</description>
<label>Auto (Solo Mode)</label>
<onclick condition="Container.Content(tvshows)">XBMC.RunScript(script.artwork.downloader, mediatype=tvshow, dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])</onclick>
<onclick condition="Container.Content(movies)">XBMC.RunScript(script.artwork.downloader, mediatype=movie, dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])</onclick>
<onclick condition="Container.Content(musicvideos)">XBMC.RunScript(script.artwork.downloader, mediatype=musicvideos, dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])</onclick>
<visible>[Container.Content(tvshows)|Container.Content(movies)|Container.Content(musicvideos)]+system.hasaddon(script.artwork.downloader)</visible>
</item>
Now in 1080XF I have a new menu option to run Artwork Downloader in Solo Mode against individual titles.
Artwork Downloader will then run in solo mode and download all the available artwork for that particular title. The types of artwork it downloads are set in the Artwork Downloader add-on settings etc.
A report can be viewed at the end to see what artwork it actually downloaded
If I then look on the file server for this particular movie title, I can see the new artwork files have been downloaded to the server etc.
I also tested it against a TV Show title and it works fine.
Please consider adding this functionality to your official build.
Now if we can figure out why the Artwork Downloader is not automatically working after a video database update scan, I'll be very happy and will migrate the rest of my HTPC's to Helix with 1080XF!
Many thanks.
