Hi All,

I've had my XBMC running sweetly for quite a while now. I currently use couchpotato to handle my movie downloads.

I have recently enabled couch to download XBMC Metadata, this includes nfo, clearart, logo and fanart etc.

Is there anyway to get XBMC to recognise the already downloaded artwork in the movie folder. Artwork only seems to show once i've ran the artwork downloader and it appears to go off and download all the artwork again which seems to make the couchpotato xbmc metadata a bit irrelevant to me.

Folder format is as below.

Folder: Movie Name (Year)
File: Movie Name (Year).mkv
Movie Name (Year).nfo
fanart.jpg
logo.png
clearart.png
disc.png

This appears to follow the same naming convention as artwork downloader.

I'm running Gotham 13.1 and using Aeon Nox Gotham Plus (4.1.9)

Thanks

I got the same issue and recognized, that the cover is recognized automatically if you name it "poster.png" or "folder.png". I never played with disc images, so I can´t help for this.

Maybe this: http://kodi.wiki/view/Thumbnails

helps too, to get the correct naming.

Try remove the nfos I doubt they are compatible with xbmc

Definitely need to run AD, but you can set it up in the addon settings for it, to only search for local art.

Some skins (various versions of AEON Nox) can be set to automatically run AD after a library update.

@uNiversal - Where, in any nfo file, is there any reference to logo.png, clearart.png, disc.png ??

I have already enabled local art but this just seems to be where artwork downloader puts the art. Not if it checks the local folder first before downloading.

With regards to the question about artwork in the nfo, here is a snippet taken from an nfo.
