Since upgrading to Gotham 13.0 Full Release I've had issues getting my extra artwork from AD to work. I spent days accumulating logos and such for nearly 1400 movies and 50 TV Shows. None of that art, stored locally, was found by AD after a fresh Gotham install. To get it to work I had to do the following.
All my extra artwork is named like the following example,
D:\Blu-ray Movies\Bad Boys Bluray (1995)\Bad Boys Bluray.mkv
D:\Blu-ray Movies\Bad Boys Bluray (1995)\Bad Boys Bluray.nfo
D:\Blu-ray Movies\Bad Boys Bluray (1995)\Bad Boys Bluray-clearart.png
D:\Blu-ray Movies\Bad Boys Bluray (1995)\Bad Boys Bluray-clearlogo.png
D:\Blu-ray Movies\Bad Boys Bluray (1995)\Bad Boys Bluray-discart.png
D:\Blu-ray Movies\Bad Boys Bluray (1995)\Bad Boys Bluray-fanart.jpg
D:\Blu-ray Movies\Bad Boys Bluray (1995)\Bad Boys Bluray-poster.jpg
I created copies of the extra art for Bad Boys and named them logo.png, disc.png and clearart.png, used the 'Get Artwork' button for AD to search both locally and the web and it found the local files. Once added I went back to just 'Choose Art' and the options for Clearart, Clearlogo and Discart appeared. Selecting them found the locally saved art with movie name and added it easily. Tried another movie and all the options are there and easily finds the art. Strange way that had to force itself to work but it's now "fixed".
For TV Shows I had to force it the same way, use 'Get Artwork' on the first show to find the logo and clearart locally and install. Then the next show worked simply from the 'Choose Art' button.
If only all this art could be automatically added though. Dare to dream I guess.
And now I've discovered that having all the art simply named can automatically be scraped in one fell swoop. Is it not possible to have the same thing occur if the art is named MOVIETITLE-clearart.png?
