is there a way to make the program rename the pictures exactly as the kodi addon "art downloader', I use both but don't want duplicate images.

Or go into expert and name then how you want

Thank you but i don't use the Kodi interface

Am running Kodi 17.3 and the latest Alpha link from the front page.
1. Nearly missed this, but I think there is a UX bug - If you have neglected to setup the MovieSets path but try and sync a movie set anyway both Kodi and Ember Media Manager show toasts that say the sync was okay - however the images are wiped out. If you look in the Ember log "2017-07-07 23:03:34.3617,generic.Interface.Kodi.Kodi.APIKodi,generic.Interface.Kodi.Kodi.APIKodi.GetRemotePath_MovieSet,24,ERROR,[APIKodi] [Benetton] [GetRemotePath_MovieSet]: No MovieSet Artwork path definied for this host!," is shown.
2. The "Plot" isn't transferred over to Kodi - I can't get Kodi to scrape this either - only way to get it to appear is to edit the "sets" table in the database directly.

Kodi doesn't scan my sources they are add through PlexKodiConnect which i think adds poster/fanart/banner by default then https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=258886 adds the rest

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough - ideally rather than the error being hidden in the log files while Ember and Kodi claim success it would be a better UX if Ember showed an error instead e.g. "unable to sync Movie Set Artwork - Path not set in Kodi Interface settings"
2. That explains that - do you know of any way of getting this to appear in Kodi without directly editing the database? - In Kodi itself I've tried removing the movieset from the library and refreshing all the movies within that set but that doesn't work either
As an aside - am I correct in understanding that the Kodi JSON API doesn't offer a "rescan the nfo" feature. however it offers the ability to amend certain fields directly - i.e. you can change the film title - and Ember takes advantage of the latter?

Thanks for all the effort in maintaining Ember Media Manager! It's really an essential tool for Kodi!
I'm running Kodi 17.3 on my Intel NUC with Windows 8.1 (x64). I noticed that some audio and video icons were missing in Kodi until I played the video file.
After a little experimenting, these are the changes I made in Ember so that the mapped codec matched to an icon without needing playback first:
Settings --> Miscellaneous --> Audio Video Codec Mapping
Audio:
Code:Mediainfo Codec | Mapped Codec
A_EAC3 | eac3
A_TRUEHD | truehd
A_FLAC | flac
Video:
Code:Mediainfo Codec | Mapped Codec
V_MPEG2 | mpeg2video
I apologize if this info has already been presented earlier in the thread, but I couldn't find it. If this is added to the main build, the following PNG files will also need to be added to the Ember installation folder (Ember Media Manager BETA\Images\Flags):
acodec_eac3.png
vcodec_mpeg2video.png
Unrelated, but Ember is also missing an icon for PCM, which maps correctly on its own:
acodec_pcm.png
Thanks!
