xbmc always sets same fanart for new movies: insidious - john.doe - 2012-06-30

Hi

I've been having a bug where any new file I add to my movie collection has insidious' fanart as background. If I press i when the file is imported I can go to fan art, and change that fanart to the remote one which is correct.

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 amd64 with xbmc eden from nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-stable and skin aeon nox 3.0.1,artwork downloader 1.0.14.

I've checked the log in .xbmc/temp/xbmc.log but didn't see anything.

Thanks,

I have to add that I have all my movies in the same folder directly:
\Movies\Pulp Fiction (1994).avi
\Movies\Reservoir Dogs (1992).avi
\Movies\The Usual Suspects (1995).avi
etc

Well that will probably be the problem. Is there a fanart.jpg in the movies folder?

john.doe,

and that is the problem. All of your movies need to be in separate sub-directories. If you go look thru the movies directory, you will no doubt see one (or even all ) of the following files. clearart.png, logo.png, poster.png banner.png, fanart.png and no doubt a few others that I have forgotten. Known problem with a known solution (use Google to search the forum for other postings of the same problem)

Hi

Thanks for the input. There's a fanart.jpg in the movies directory.

I've been using the file structure before and didn't have this problem, so this maybe has something to do the skin?

thanks again,

Er, that's a load of baloney. Movies can be in a Root directory or in individual folders.

Personally I have mine as both. DVD structure Movies in individual folders, and avi, mkv etc in the root folder.

But, yes, you can't have any images that are un-allocated in the root folder.

Which is why I use Media Companion to scrape all this and have it named for each movie. Definitely saves on needing XBMC to do it, or re-do it in my case.
