Hi ! Could anyone tell how to keep extrafanarts showing for tv shows episodes after updating the episode's nfo locally (on Leia) ? I haven't been able to find it.
Everytime I have to update my nfos when I refresh some episode, the kodi internal link to the database for extrafanarts breaks. While it is not an issue for movies because I can get them back scanning all local files with artwork beef, it doesn't work for tv shows episodes. I use Madnox with the 4 thumbs view for both movies and tv shows episodes. I like to download locally 5 fanarts for each movie / TV episode : 1 main fanart and 4 others to fill in the 4 thumbs view.
If anyone could tell it really would be great, thanks in advance guys !

In my experience not possible. its possible yes, but no scraper scrapes extrafanart for TV Episodes and as far as I know no Skin is supporting this.
You have to rewrite the skin .xml's a bit & copy/paste the TV Episode extrafanart yourself.
Don't mess up the artwork possibilities of Movies and TV Shows. They are complete different Media Types in Kodi.
Movies and their artwork have only 1 instance. TV Shows have 3 (TV Show - Seasons - Episodes). Extrafanart are only for the TV Show instance. Of course in some skins Extrafanart (from the TV Show instance) can also be shown when you are browsing through seasons and episodes.
Don't expect to get a extrafanart sideshow from a specific episode when you scroll into it. If you know a skin that can handle that, tell me.
I would love to have a image sideshow of every Star Trek episode when i scroll on it.

What add-on is similar to Artwork Beef that will work for Kodi Nexus 2.02? Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

ok. I'll take some photos of how the folders actually appear on the TV. I just let Kodi automatically scrape the folders for titles and images. I don't keep image files on the folders yet.
