(although would update to latest build 146 at time of writing)
All artwork.organizer does is create a pile of images relevant to music, tv or movies. That it a single pile - there is no differentiating one album from another. Its mainly used for backdrops within kodi for skins.
The only use is for default fanart when no other exists - so it is fairly limited.
Yatse3 Socket:
Will use fanart and thumbnail info if given to it - which works for local albums but not streaming
&
KodiMusicSource/artist/extrafanart - if exists, changing each song
&
KodiMusicSoruce/Albumfolder/cdart.png if exists within local album directory.
Yatse does not use anything else, thumbs/artist etc will not be used. Kodi might like then though.
So for googlePlay - will use artist/extrafanart BUT will not show thumbnail/just uses default CD image.
....
GooglePlay example: Backdrop/Fanart from KodiMusicSource/Artist/extrafanart/, no thumbnail/default used
EDIT: Updated in build 147 - to use googleplay thumb, now looks like this (build 147)
This may change if/when kodi fixes/supports the addon thumbnail attribute being sent via json. (and then will just work without code changes)
For local album - will use cdart.png in addition to KodiMusicSource/Artist/extrafanart/ if exisits. As below:
Hopefully all is clear...
