Hi @DanCooper - just following up on this question, to add some context, all my movies have extended images as logo.png, clearart.png, they are downloaded by couchpotato, however for kodi client to use them I need to run artwork downloader, even though the images are in the movie folder. Will KI real time sync be used to update the library such that the logo.png etc are recognized by kodi without running artwork downloader every time a new movie is added.

Yes, but if CP save the images as logo.png etc. you have to enable the default file names for ArtworkDownloader in Ember (Settings => Movies => Files and Sources => File Names => Kodi Addons => AD), then Ember can recognize it while DB update. See this list to see which defaults are loading and saving which file names: Link

For the Kodi Interface it's not relevant which file names you are using. If Ember has recognized the file, the KI will send the path to Kodi.

FYI: Kodi does not support extended images out-of-the-box, so ClearLogo, ClearArt, DiscArt etc. can only be added to Kodi with addons or KI.

This is perfect! I was afraid that I may need to redo my entire 6k movies!
