Raspberry Pi B+
raspbmc with kodi 14
Movie Set Artwork Automator version 0.2.2

I used your plugin and I had some trouble in the beginning. I couldn't get the thumbnails as icons on the moviewall to show. I named all thumbnails to MovieSetName-folder.jpg (all artwork in 1 single folder). Then I noticed in the settings you can change the filenames of:

- thumbnail --> folder.jpg
- poster --> poster.jpg
- fanart --> fanart.jpg
- etc... etc

I changed poster.jpg to folder.jpg and after a restart of my raspberry pi the thumbnails of the movieset where changed. So great app you wrote. Still I have a question, what is the difference between thumbnail and poster? Where is what used?

Size is probably the only difference. I think it's usually the same image. As far as where they're used, that would depend on the skin you're using. Commonly, list views will have thumbnails and poster views, info windows, etc. will use posters.

I also noticed when the program scans all sets I see a double backslash in front of SetName-poster.jpg and SetName-fanart.jpg. When I look into the database I also see //Batman-poster.jpg. I'm not saying this is wrong because the program works great but I just found it strange since all other artwork just have 1 slash as you can see in the picture below.

Does this version of MSAA will add extrafanart1.jpg to database or will it be implemented?


On Helix, it don't add extrafanart1.jpg, i need to do that manually...

[Levi59]

up?

Im running this on Frodo and getting this error?

This is the easiest add-on I've ever used... I love it. I don't want a program to tell me what art I can have; I want one to use the art I give it. This is perfect!

Would you consider making a "Movie Artwork Automator" for the "normal" movie (poster, fanart, disc, etc.) artwork? Artwork Downloader drives me nuts because it won't scape my own folders.

I can't thank you enough for this little jewel.

I'm running Kodi 14.1, Aeon MQ5 6.1.6, on Windows 7 & 8.

If I'm understanding you correctly, perhaps you're looking for this?

I have kodi 15/alpha installed on linux/64 on two machines -- 'master' and 'playback' kodi instances.

The two instances share a single mysql database, as specified in each advancedsettings.xml. Both instances share an NFS-mounted library store. Database info is exported as XML (.nfo), as separate files for each movie.

Database updates, content updates, etc. made in the master all propagate correctly.

I've installed MSA in the 'master' instance.

I've set up a single collection artwork folder for MSA. The folder exists on the NFS store. I've updated my collection artwork PNGs.

After exec of MSA all my collections on the 'master' instance correctly show the collection artwork I've specified.

On the 'playback' instance, I update the Library. All changes are picked up, as usual ...

EXCEPT, all of the collections -- as viewed in Thumbnail view -- display NO ART whatsoever. Title's there, single movies' art is there, but the collections' artwork is just missing.

What do I need to do to get the collection artwork in the 'playback' instance to disaply as it does in the 'master' instance?

[Milhouse]

Why are you updating the library on the Playback device when you're sharing a MySQL database? You shouldn't need to apply any library updates on the Playback device once the library updates have been processed by Master. This makes it sound like you're not really sharing a single library at all...

[hanlon]

I updated it because NOT updating it didn't have any effect on the collections art.

For reference, on the 'playback' instance (it's an RPi)

Code:

cd /home/pi/.kodi/userdata/Database

Hi, I have problem whit my Sagas.

They do not appear in my playlist when I scrap,

In my HDD:

\Films\Evangelion\fanart.jpg
\Films\Evangelion\folder.jpg
\Films\Evangelion\evangelion 1.0.mkv
\Films\Evangelion\evangelion 1.0.mkv

If I let all my videos in the same folder (\Films\all videos), the sagas are created automatically, but I do not have the logo that is displayed ?

Hi All.. Which is the best media programme to use to scrape the Movie set artwork. I have tried Ember and Media Elch and can not get movie set artwork to scrape. Do you have to download manually from Fanart.Tv website?

This is the only thing I can not get working in Kodi, Thanks

I'm not sure if any of the media managers will download set art. I've always dowoaded all of mine manually.

Ember media manager does download

Of *Set* artwork? I use Ember (13.x) and have always manually downloaded Set artwork - for the relatively small number of Sets it's not a big deal.
