FanArt Priority or Options?
#1
Hi Guys,

I've read on the forums about how Fanart works ie When a movie is added it will look for cover, fanart and thumbs in the Movie folder and if not found it will scrape them and cache them locally in User Data.

Which is all well and good unless you want to change some or add your own local store later. Deleting and re-adding isn't ideal.

Would it be possible to always check for local cover, fanart and thumbs when doing an update? Or maybe easier to have an option in Setting along the lines of,

1) Always use local cover and fanart. Only scrape thumbs.
2) Scrape everything inthe absense of local art (like current)
3) Always scrape all images, never look for local stores (might speed up a little for some people)

The video info scanner doesn't check for updated thumbnails or fanart at present (unlike the music scanner, which does).

Whether or not this needs to be done in the scanner itself, or whether it's better in the updated thumb handling code we're planning is up for debate - I'm not sure which is the better plan at this point.

At anyrate, you can easily just "Get Thumb" to update the local thumb in the meantime.
