I don't have any shows split across multiple locations, which would explain why I am having different results than you. Do you have ALL of the artwork for each show at each location, or one location has all of the show specific art?
Does sounds weird, either way, just curious if the trigger is strictly having multiple locations, or if it's related to how your art is stored.

jmarshall morning. I have been keeping an eye out for you in IRC for a while but have always missed you.
I have OpenELEC virtual setup side by side with Eden and can condocut any tests you need. Ping me with (xe) specifics as i have completed "Update and check the debug log as you go" several times now with different setups never with 100% results.

A small update.
I have tried to solve this issue by trying various options. The last attempt i made was using "XBMCSetup-20121129-e092099-master.exe" just in case it is a platform problem.
Using windows the process took appropriately the same time and reported to complete successfully however the end result is no art at all seen in the library.
I am half convinced this is an edge case problem caused by either my large library or the fact I have managed to upgrade and keep the same library for a long time (several XBMC versions).
Unless anyone has any insight I am going to abandon this effort and move to recreating the dbase from scratch and importing play count and watch status.

Do not abandon it.
If it's to be fixed, I need cases like this.
You can build yourself, right? So add a bunch of logging to xbmc/utils/EdenVideoArtUpdater.cpp and we can figure out what is going on.

Or perhaps you could provide us the userdata folder so we can try ourselves to see what happens. Although that will probably be huge.

The collation stuff suggests that your db didn't get updated pre-Eden (about v43 I think it was).
That shouldn't really be an issue though, or at least I don't think it will be - the only thing we take from the database here is the <thumb> stuff and the paths, so the only possibly problem would be really, really long filenames (512 chars is very long).
Cheers,

I have a question on how XBMC-clients decides what art to download.
example:
- 2 clients with shared mysql-database
1. client 1 scrapes new movie into database
2. library ends up with 2 different fanarts for that movie in "art" table. (media_type = "fanart")
3. which of the 2 available fanarts will client 2 download?
I have tried to find out if it even is supported to have 2 different fanarts for one movie in the "art" table, but with no luck.
With the new sync in Frodo, my question ultimately is if it is supported/possible to have different fanart on each client but with shared mysql-database?

Why would it have two different entries for fanart? Each episode/movie should only have one fanart entry. If you change the fanart on one client then the other client will eventually (once every X number of hours) check the database and change the fanart there too.

Well yes, if you put no symlink from your thumbnails folder to your NAS, all fanart will be stored locally on the client itself.
But this is the case as well now in Eden already if I am not mistaking.
The difference lies within the scraping part. But I am also still confused a little with both setups concerning this ....
