Quick questions before i submit a bug...

Is Artwork Dump supposed to populate ListItem.Art(clearlogo)?

[Angelinas]

No...
Artwork Dump  only downloads artwork already added to your libraries by scrapers, NFO files, or other add-ons.

I don't understand why artwork dump isn't working right now.. Previously, everything worked and all the images were picked up and now nothing is picked up at all,even posters for some movies. When the background updates of artwork, some error "ssl error server"comes out

Looks like fanart.tv are having issues, it happens. It will probably be fixed by tomorrow.

Okay thank you so much for calming me down) And then I didn't know what to do,even deleted the folder in the hope that it would help. But it did not help( Well, then I will wait until tomorrow..)

Fanart.tv have fixed their SSL issue so this should all be working again

I'm learning a lot of new stuff in this thread.  Like extrafanart should now be multiple fanart.  Does anyone know a bash or other kind of script that can go through your media folders, take all the files in the extrafanart folders, rename them to 'fanart#.ext', and move them to the parent folder?

Hi @Karellen  and @rmrector,

I installed Kodi v19 just now and found out that my favourite addon Artwork Beef is no longer supported in that.
So I installed it's alternative, Artwork Dump addon.
However, in Artwork Beef I could save all my Artworks in the default Kodi Thumbnails folder but Artwork Dump no longer has that option and saves all images in the same video folder.
Is there any way to save the images in the separate deafult Kodi Thumbnails folder rather than the same video folder, like Artwork Beef used to do?
Please advise.

Also, thanks for all the great work that you're doing!

Thanks & Regards,
ShibajiCh.

Not that I am aware of. But why would you need an add-on to do this when Kodi does this as part of the scanning/scraping process, and has always done so?

Hi @Karellen,
Thanks for your prompt response!
The thing is that as you said with the Kodi TMDB movie scraper I can get only few artworks and with the universal movie scraper I can get all other extra artworks. However, these artworks are downloaded once I first add the movie to Kodi, and after that if I want to get more artworks I need to refresh each movie individually again, whereas with Artwork Beef whenever I added new movies to my Kodi library it would automatically update all my existing movies with new available artworks. This is also happening in Artwork Dump but all images are getting added to the main movie folder, but I wanted them to get downloaded to the Kodi default Thumbnails folder. Is there any way to do that? Kindly suggest.

Thanks,
ShibajiCh.

Ok, understand. No Artwork Dump does not do this. I am not aware of any add-on that does this for v19.

This is also happening in Artwork Dump but all images are getting added to the main movie folder, but I wanted them to get downloaded to the Kodi default Thumbnails folder

They do get cached into the Thumbnails folder. If you don't want them in the main movie folder, then disable that setting in Artwork Dump, but then I don't see the point of using this add-on as that is its main job.

Hi @Karellen, how can I cache the images into the Thumbnails folder? I'm not able to find that setting in the Artwork Dump addon. Could you please guide me once?

Thanks,

[Karellen]

You don't need to do anything. When you scrape an item, the artwork is automatically cached.

If you are adding new artwork to an existing library entry, then yes you need to delete the movie from the library and rescrape it.

Hi @Karellen,

Thanks but I don't want to save any images in my movie folder. I just want them (including the extra artwork) to get downloaded directly to the Kodi Thumbnails folder like it used to happen in Artwork Beef or via Universal Movie Scraper. Is that possible with Artwork Dump? Please advise.

Thanks,
