I just downloaded the file in the first post and it seemed to come down just fine. He might of had a server issue when you tried to download the first time.

Sorry for the late response, the link does seem to work on my system as well.

I have a question. I can't seem to get this to run on a Linux install. I thought it would either go in the /home/xbmc/.xbmc/scripts or /usr/share/xbmc/scripts/

Either place I put it it doesn't run. I figured it would go in the /home/xbmc/.xbmc/scripts directory if anything due to permissions, but it doesn't. It does create a Folder called /home/xbmc/.xbmc/UserData/ folder Video Fanart Splitter, but after that it just stops.

Is there any permissions that needs to be setup prior to running?

What sections would you go about changing it if you dont use the application data folder and just everything is in the program files?

[skaymakca]

You can check your xbmc.log under .xbmc/temp for whatever errors are being raised.

I tried it on an ubuntu 9.10 vm with xbmc stable and it didn't work. The third party library I'm using for sqlite access, pysqlite, is now longer loading on linux. I will look into the solution and post a fix later.

Every file description in default.py the ones that contain:

Code:

special://home/userdata/

would have to be changed to wherever you want to store the script, where the videos34.db file is, and where you want the output files to be stored.

I'll look into fixing this and creating a way for easier to use custom folder output in the future.

Thanks for the heads up on the error log. I keep forgetting it generates that. Ive been away from Linux way to long.
I was trying this on a 9.04 build, but I'll take a look at the error log.

I just checked the /xbmc/.xbmc/ and I don't even seem to be anything written to it. I'm running 9.11 but heck I don't know any more.

I have the same problem as kizer on my Ubuntu 9.04 box with Transparency! skin. Here are error logs. Could you please help?

Good work on writing this script skaymakca but I have the same problem as kyouhei and kizer here - hopefully you will come up with a solution soon!

[skorianez]

How about on Linux system instead of copy, do a "symbolic link" to avoid double fanart files and will speed up a lot.

[mole]

Has anybody managed to get this working on Live yet?

[Schenk2302]

Hi,

first thanks so much for this script. I have a problem with it anyway. It will run very short and is just doing a Movie folder with ca. ten .tbn.
Nothing more and no TV folder.

here's my log, maybe anyone could help.

thanks in advance

Great script!!
I have an install of xbmc to text on an xp computer, from the menu settings i can navigate to (%APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata\script_data\ on windows ) fine, but on my home set up I am using the Live install and i can only navigate to the Home Folder or the Movie folder I added to contain my films?
Is there a way to change the path it output to?

really hope someone can help!!

note im using aeon skin and the settings is under customise aeon (main menu backgrounds)

[wiggy]

Found my answer derr

"After launching this script you can define the new folders as the backdrops for your skin. In aeon this is set with the aeon.custommovies setting (for movies) in the guisettings.xml file."
