I just started using Ember and I really dig it, thanks to those involved in its development!
I'm coming from MediaElch so my images used to be named logo.png, disc.png, clearart.png, etc.
Then I would have to run Artwork Downloader to have them appear in Kodi.
I was told that with Ember, we don't need AD anymore, is this correct?
So i configured Ember to name images as <filename>-clearlogo.png, <filename>-discart.png, etc.
However, I still need to run AD to have the images show up. Did I miss something in the configuration?
Thanks in advance.

You need the latest Alpha version of Ember to sync the images directly to Kodi if you don't want use AD. All images and infos can be synced with our new Kodi Interface module. It's not important what you use as name, but <filename>-imahetype.ext is the best solution.

Hello Dan, I'm using 1.4.7.2 x86
Is that the correct version?
I just checked Modules and there's a red X before Kodi Interface, that means I need to set it up, right?
Is there a tut somewhere on how to do that?
One more question, I'm trying to scrape a movie that is not English, each time I change to language: French, I press Re-Scrape and I'm back on language: English.
Can't I change the language on the fly?
Thanks!

Ahh I see. Glad it's fixed!
I figured out how to set up Kodi Module. I tested the connection and it's successful.
One more question though. How does it work? Does the client PC with Kodi on it, need to be on when I'm scraping new movies? Or do the images get added automatically when I update my library on my HTPC?

Well, looks like I'm over my head on this one because I can't figure it out. None of my logos, discs, cleararts are being added with my sources.
I guess I will keep using AD...

Aries,
Ember will not sync with Kodi during the Kodi update process. Once you complete the update on the Kodi side you need to do a sync from Ember. It's is a push process from Ember to Kodi. Ember has no way of knowing when changes occur on the Kodi side in order to trigger an update, however, that would be a nice feature.
