RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Jumpy73 - 2015-12-22 (2015-12-19, 00:27)stef.an Wrote: Hi Jumpy73, Hi Stef.an, I tried your new custom release just some minutes ago... I added 3 new albums of Santana --> cdArts have been downloaded without problems using "Automatic download" procedure --> coverArts have not been downloaded using "Automatic download" procedure. Instead, if a choose the download by Artist menu, select Santana from the Artists list, the procedure get back to me the right 3 albums coverArts. Then I assume I can download them without problems. Please find below the Kodi Log. I hope this helps even if it is full of probably not so useful "DEBUG" lines! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ug5htc0fxojtj8x/kodi.log?dl=0 Thanks and regards RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - stef.an - 2015-12-22 Okay, could you please try this: 1. Go to Settings, Extra-Settings and enable* "Overwrite low-res existing cdARTs" ("Sovrascrivi le cdART a bassa risoluzione già esistenti") 2. Exit cdArt Manager 3. start it again and go to Advanced, Modify Addon Database, Update Database ("Aggiorna database", no need to "Ricarica il database locale") 4. Retry *automatic* download of the covers and see if it works now This option is not working anymore but I think there might be a bug in handling the parameter if it's disabled*... I'll fix that if it's the solution. *) reverse it... I think you've got it currently enabled RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Jumpy73 - 2015-12-22 (2015-12-22, 14:41)stef.an Wrote: Okay, could you please try this: Uhmm... I will try it but I'm not confident this solve the issue. The problems I'm still having are on albumArts and not on cdArts Tks RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - stef.an - 2015-12-22 Trust Me, I'm an Engineer If you're able you could update to the latest version which will provide me some more debugging info. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - ryborg - 2015-12-23 (2015-12-20, 13:17)stef.an Wrote: Hi ryborg, the repo version doesn't work anymore, you'll have to install my current release manually. stef.an, I've followed your directions a few times, and just did it once again but I'm still having no luck. It seems like it's not creating the database correctly and as soon as it runs it hangs while either trying to scan for music or with the modal titled "CDART MANGER" Here's the latest log: Code: 17:33:43 T:139935495464704 NOTICE: [cdART Manager] - ############################################################ RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - stef.an - 2015-12-23 Sorry ryborg, you're still running the repo version (Frodo) and not mine from the github repo. This version is broken for quite a while now. If you followed the instructions exactly - especially about uninstalling the old version - I don't know what's wrong with your installation. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Jumpy73 - 2015-12-23 (2015-12-22, 19:38)stef.an Wrote: Trust Me, I'm an Engineer Hi Stef.an, Thinking about the setting you mentioned I tested the following scenario: 1) Starting assumptions: - dowloaded and installed last cdArt manager release from your remote repository - kodi music library and cdArt manager DBs perfectly aligned --> same artists, albums and local cdarts - local coverArts from mp3 file tag already available in local album folders 2) Cancel all the Artist/albums subfolders in local music library, except for 3 Santana albums - kodi music library DB has been aligned to the new local music library - cdArt manager DB has NOT been aligned to the new local music library 3) Enter in cdArt Manager - verify the setting you mentioned "Overwrite low-res existing cdARTs" (now I understand that with cdARTs statement, both cdArts and coverArts are contemporary managed by the addon) was flagged On 4) Select coverArts/Automatic download from the menu --> now all the coverArts have been downloaded successfully, except for the 3 Santana's albums (already available from mp3 file tag, as declared in step 1) 5) Then, in the local music folder all the artist/album subfolders structure has been rebuilded by cdArt Manager during coverArts automatic downloading, always except for Santana folder What do I understand from this testing scenario? --> The problem was where you imagined - "Overwrite low-res existing cdARTs" option in the Advanced settings menu !!! If cdArt Manager, during automatic downloading procedure, finds an already available local copy of coverArt, even if the "Overwrite low-res existing cdARTs" option is flagged On, It doesn't overwrite the local copy of coverArt Now I also undestand why I have not had problems with cdArts --> no previously downloaded local cdArts were available in local music library :-) Are you able to fix it in the next release of addon? Many thanks for you time and support RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - stef.an - 2015-12-23 You're right - regardless of the setting no images are being overwritten anymore. I've mentioned that a few posts ago when I released the (quick and dirty fixed) version supporting the new fanart.tv API v3. This cannot be fixed the easy way, here is the reason if you're interested: https://forum.fanart.tv/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=403 If you read the last few pages you'll see that I've started a complete rewrite of the plugin and maybe I'll implement something neat but the list is long and that'll take time. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - melons2 - 2015-12-24 Two years ago I tried this addon and could not use it correctly. Today I was using a modded version of my skin and noticed that the correct cd art was showing when playing an album and not when using my regular skin.............I asked the mod author about it and basically was told to make cd art manager "install" my artwork. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Jumpy73 - 2015-12-26 (2015-12-23, 21:50)stef.an Wrote: You're right - regardless of the setting no images are being overwritten anymore. I've mentioned that a few posts ago when I released the (quick and dirty fixed) version supporting the new fanart.tv API v3. Tks Stef.an... I have read the topic in fanart.tv forum and I understand the issue. I don't know if this can help you, but a workaround could be as follow: You can always download the albumart/cdart in local file system with a "temporary" file name, then you can compare the resolution of both the images, if any local image is already available at that time. If the resolution of the new image is higher than the actual image --> overwrite old image If the resolution of the new image is lower than the actual image --> delete new image For sure this procedure takes longer time than the actual one, but it addresses the issue in a right way RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - AidenL - 2015-12-26 Hi there, Is there any reason why I should have way less CDarts than albums, assuming my albums are pretty current and not obscure? Also, does the programme scan recursively, or only one layer down? RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - AidenL - 2015-12-28 Got all sorted - looks really good RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - guandms - 2016-01-03 I Can't get it to work , tried what Stefan suggested a few pages back , did'nt work for me , trying on 15.2 and 16.0 Beta 4 . Someone can please help ? RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Jumpy73 - 2016-01-07 If I add some new music albums to the kodi library (aligned to cdArt manager db), what do I have to do in order to update the cdArt manager db and align it to the new kodi music library? When I open cdArt manager, the script automatically check fanart.tv web site but nothing else is apparently done... for instance, the number of albums/artists at the botton of the windows doesn't increase, even if I added new music albums. For sure, each time, I can rebuild the cdArt manager db but, with a large kodi music library, this solution would be really far from being the best possible solution Tks in advance for your help RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - meowmoo - 2016-01-08 hi stef.an I was asking the autor of Artist Slidshow, to use the same Illegal Character Replace Logic as CdArt Manger do, so AS reconize all the "renamed" folders from cdArt Manger http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=124880&pid=2207843#pid2207843 If you can point him in the right direction, since i have no idea how this stuff works, would be very welcome Thanks |
