. I use emby & emby for kodi

Ok. You should have mentioned that from the start. IIRC there is some incompatability with emby. I think it bypasses Kodi's databases and other functions, so this may not work.
Someone with experience with emby will need to confirm. Or you could just test.

Ah OK. I'll do a backup tonight and run a test tomorrow.

I've run a test. It doesn't work with Emby, so, I removed my Emby movie folder and created a new movie source in Kodi. It works fine. I can scrape my movies and then download all of the images, discart etc to my laptop with Artwork Dump.

I've done a few manual adjustments to my movies as some of the artwork was not correct, so I replaced them with some I had already saved locally.
A couple more question though (hope you don't mind?).
1. How do I ensure that Kodi looks at my saved artwork first, before looking in the internet? Just thinking of the manual changes I've made.
2. If I manually save fanart into a movie folder on my laptop, as say fanart1, fanart2 etc. If that art type is already set up in Kodi, will Kodi automatically pick that artwork up without me doing anything, and would that happen throughout my movie library?

That is automatic. Kodi always looks for local first. Scrapers are the fallback.

No. You will need to delete the movie from the library and rescan it.
Kodi never scans looking for changes. You have to initiate the scan.

Right, done some testing and it doesn't work well with Emby for Kodi.
I've bypassed Emby and created a Kodi sourced library. It all works now, downloading the artwork to my local folders.

But he doesn't take the fanart named just fanart.

So I scrap and I have like this :

 

for folder with :

Day.Shift.2022.MULTi.1080p.NF.WEB.DDP5.1.Atmos.x264
fanart
poster

and I have

Last.Seen.Alive.2022.MULTi.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H264
Last.Seen.Alive.2022.MULTi.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H264-fanart
poster

What is the solution to see my fanart local whitout all rename...

Thanks a lot.

Its not an artwork dump problem.

If you are using short names for artwork, then you need to enable the setting Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title

The Artwork Dump features "Automatically preload local video/music library artwork to Kodi texture cache" require the noted Kodi setting to be enabled. Here is a wiki page describing that setting https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Services...l_via_HTTP

The TVDB questions are better answered in the TVDB thread.

Excuse me but I don't speak very well english and don't understand this part...

Becuase when I go in tne service and say "Allow remote control via HTTP"

Kodi say to me that it's dangerous because anybody can access to my HTPC... Could you explain me please ? Thanks.

1) Is anybody who ca say me what's mean :

WARNING <general>: [script.artwork.dump] Artwork caching requires Kodi setting 'Allow remote control via HTTP' enabled

As for the other items, there is nothing wrong there.
