Is there a way I can force all of the music related artwork to go to AIF as it did with Artwork Beef?

Not that I am aware of.
Even if it did, then Kodi would not be able to find and use it as it is looking for album artwork in the album folder.

yeh, not to worry.

its partly my convoluted system

music on laptop > nextcloud  - but I dont want kodi having access to nextcloud at web user level so nextcloud > rsync to second drive

Gonna experiment with osync so it can do bidirectional and see if that works better

thanks anyway

-tmdb 3.5.14
-tmdb 5.2.6 (or are the booth usefull ?)
-tmdb python
-tmdb shows if I don't want use it because I prefer TVDB
-tvdb (new)
-tvdb v4

so after I just want to know if my settings are correct because The last movie I scrap receive the fanart not by my local ...

Thanks a lot.

The only settings you should change are...
Enable the first two settings in "General"
If you want only certain artwork downloaded, then change the setting "Video library artwork typed to download"

and so I explain what I would like. I would like all for tvshows by TVDB and only poster and discart for movies by TMDB.

See previous answer.
Also, if you only want poster and discart, edit your Kodi settings here also... https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Media/Videos#Artwork

I have increased the multiple fanart slider to 2 for a total of 3 fanarts (fanart, fanart1, fanart2). These 3 fanarts download just fine. However, if I want to change the image assigned to fanart1 or fanart2 then there is no way to select a different image. I tried doing this by going to "Choose Art" but only under Fanart are there multiple images available to select. Under fanart1 and fanart2 only the currently assigned image is visible with no other image to choose from.
Since the image URLs are already available after scrapping, shouldn't fanart1/fanart2 also have different images available to choose from?

Please do not type your own reply inside the same quote you are referring to.
Things become very confusing that way.

You don't need to erase any scrapers. You either use it or you don't. They can stay on your system.
Its not really clear which scrapers you are using on your Sources.

Ok : Seems that it doesn't work, AD don't take discart, landscape (for this it's ok) but he don't take my local fanart and poster in first....

So you have local artwork? But you want discart in addition from scraping?
Make sure you have correctly named your artwork. See this image for Movies... https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_artwork
Provide a screenshot of your movie folder so I can see how you have organised your files.

Test done and always a problem and the worst is that he write directly in my folders ... In my folders, the name of the fanart are not movies-fanart but only fanart and poster , I hope it isn't that !!

It could be if you don't have the right settings in Kodi.
If you want movies-fanart format, then in the Artwork Dump settings, enable the setting Save movie artwork with movie base filename

[jason777_1]

Ok thanks , I erase all of Kodi on Windows and restart since begin... Artwork dump is ok to work now... Thanks but always the other problem here : https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3107376

Very basic question here. It says in the addon description that 'it only downloads artwork already added to your libraries'. When I run the addon to 'download existing artwork for all video library items' does it look at locally stored movie folders etc (I have my movies saved on my laptop), as well as non local artwork? Where does it download the artwork to? It doesn't download it to my laptop does it?

So, say I put some poster art in a movie folder on my laptop called poster1.jpg, poster2.jpg etc and I have art types 'poster1', 'poster2' set up in Kodi, will it automatically save the posters on my laptop to poster1, poster2 etc on Kodi when I run the addon?

I'm using Kodi on a Nvidia Shield.

Where does it download the artwork to? It doesn't download it to my laptop does it?

It downloads the artwork to your movie and tv show folders.
If you have local artwork saved there already, nothing is downloaded.
If you scraped the movie/tv show into the library, but have no local artwork or some missing local artwork, it will download the artwork.

Thanks for the reply. Just for clarity, when you say 'If you have local artwork saved there already, nothing is downloaded', do you mean only the missing artwork? For example if I already have fanart/posters saved in my local directory but no discart, will it just save discart or will it not save anything?

Also, if I have missing artwork in Kodi, say banners or clearart. If I download them to my local directory, will it automatically populate those fields in Kodi? If you understand what I mean?

Sorry for all the questions! I appreciate any advice as all of the options in Kodi can seem a tad overwhelming.

[Karellen]

For example if I already have fanart/posters saved in my local directory but no discart, will it just save discart or will it not save anything?

It will save the discart. It will save any missing artwork.

Also, if I have missing artwork in Kodi, say banners or clearart. If I download them to my local directory, will it automatically populate those fields in Kodi?

No. You will need to Refresh the movie, or use Choose Art.

Thanks. I use emby & emby for kodi. To refresh my library, do I just refresh the emby addon? I don't want to refresh Kodi as it will duplicate all of my movies. Or am I missing something here?
