Hey guys,
First of all, I love Kodi and have been using it for quite a while. As many of you (probably) I keep my media library pretty organized. I'm currently using Kodi 17.6 for Windows, and here's some background on my setup. I have (had) hi-res images of all of my albums embedded in the files as well as in each of the album folders titled "folder.jpg".
The folder structure is: Music/FLAC/Artist/Album/song.flac
I have my library scraper set up as "local information only" because all of my music files are meticulously tagged so I don't need Kodi to go out and get more information for me. However, today when I opened up Kodi, my library updated automatically and (contrary to my desire) started overwriting all of my album artwork with "Album Art_{insert long alphanumeric code here}_Large.jpg" along with similar "Album Art_{}_Small.jpg", "AlbumArtSmall.jpg" and "folder.jpg" (hence why my artwork got overwritten).
Before I go back and re-download all of my album art and get everything back in order, is there any setting I can change to make sure this doesn't happen again? I can't seem to find any setting where I allowed Kodi to overwrite any files or had any scrapers selected to download album artwork. Is there some buried setting that I'm missing? Thanks guys!
