Manual or Automatic makes the same amount of calls to the sites imo.
I really don't see the point in making a cron for it every week or so, if i add a video i don't want to wait a week to have the extra artwork for it?
Now when i add a video i have to rescan the whole dB every time because i have no triggers for it in my Aeon Nox 5 skin instead of just scanning the video just added.

That was a screenshot from the default AN5 skin. I haven't modified mine at all. Don't you get the popup shown when you select "+"?

Maybe you guys can help me. I did the same settings here said, and is working, every time I send update the database it runs the artwork downloader. However if the update that occurs automatically when I open the program, the artwork downloader don´t runs.
If I have to manually update the database it runs the addon, if any plugin update the database, as the watchdog or the auto update library it runs too, but if that is the automatic update happens when I open xbmc, it does not run the addon .
Wanted to know if it has a way to run the artwork downloader after the automatic update of the library that happens when I open xbmc.
Forgive my english...

Okay, thank you. Unfortunately am not so good yet to write a script.... But the manual update is so different from the automatic, which can not be done like the same way as is being done in this topic?

To manually update your artwork just select Apps on your main menu and then select Artwork Downloader. It will download artwork for all your videos within the limitations you have selected in the addon settings.

I think you misunderstood me wgstarks. I know how artworkdownloader manually works. But I was referring to the update library. When I update the library manually, or when some other addon does this, artworkdownloader runs normally after the update. But when the automatic update of the library occurs when I open xbmc, the artwork downloader does not run after.
Considering that I made the changes proposed in this topic in the xml file, since the artworkdownloader is running automatically after manual updates the library, why it does not run after the automatic update that occurs when I open xbmc?
Is there any way this happens without a script needs to be created? It would not be like what we did in the xml so that it starts after the normal update method of the library?

yes, I agree with you. But the watchdog to start updating the library, a file must be added to the server with the open xbmc. The problem is that most of the time I add files to the server I have one or two off xbmc clients. And the watchdog will not update these clients when I start them, that will be the automatic update that occurs on startup of xbmc.
I tried also by a cronxmbc addon, it would be functional even in my case. But I did not do artworkdownloader run by this addon.

I see your problem. I notice others have reported the same behavior in this thread. Perhaps Warlion or someone else has an answer for you.
