I am using fresh install of Kodi Kypton (default skin) and when I add my fairly organized music library, I see very few Artist Posters when I view by artist. ( is this what I call then rather than thumbnail or fan-art?)
When I scrape the same Library using Plex Media Server I get about 95% artist poster populated. I would rather use Kodi because album view is a nightmare in Plex with all the compilations I have but I want to see the Artist show up in Artist view by their name rather than VA.
I have tried everything including PlexKodiConnect which does not seem to work well for me. Tried to export Artist poster from Plex and no luck there either.
Am I doing something just stupidly wrong? Do I have to manually scrape for artist? The plug-in is set to download but it seems not to be running.
P.S. I have searched the forums extensively and found no answer.
EDIT: A few simple Questions related:
If I see an item in the library such as an album or artist, is there a quick way to see the file path? like right click "get info"kind of thing?
If I browse for an artist image, is their any plugin that will let me quickly choose and image or find one for me? Or must I manually browse by path (excruciating) for every single item. I.E. Can you scrape per item or selection of items? Fixing individual items sees very time intensive and inefficient.
I am primarily interested in audio. I want to easily browse by album and artist poster. Ideally compilations should show up econ per album but each artist should also have a listing in artist view, even if they are only on one song in a complication. Is their a better skin I should be using?
