Something is now terribly mixed up for importing Albums. Now, I found in the Artist Slideshow config for the Addon, you can turn on"use extrafanart folder" and I seemed to have to have that on then all local images were scraped properly for an assortment of songs, BUT, not for Albums.
OK...I know now why you're not seeing your artwork after scraping. Your artwork goes in the Artist folder...not in the extrafanart subfolder. Only place the fanart images you want to see when using the "EXTRA FANART" art setting in the extrafanart folder. When you manually select your thumbnail, are you going to the Artist info screen and selecting CHOOSE ART?
At one stage, if Kodi scraped an Album and I had missing Artwork, it would retrieve it and place it in the Album Directory for the Album (such as the folder, disc image, etc) and for the Artist Directory (I have a special location for "all music information"). This doesnt seem to happen now with any scraper. For Example, my structure for my Music Directory is exactly like Kodi recommendations and that is an Artist, then their Albums in a directory each underneath the artist. Kodi seems to scrap the music fine, but doesnt load any Album Artwork. I have Maximum artwork turned on in the settings.
I too have completely cleaned everything (my special musicinfo directory that I point the addons and Kodi too, as well as removed the music sources, and music.db file).
For anyone (even @latts9923 ) that says it works for them, do you mind sharing your settings for Music (such as which scraper, prefer online, etc) and does it download the artowrk to the correct Artwork directory. It seems the scrapers just download to the Kodi DB although the Team Kodi Generic Album Scraper doco says it will place missing artwork it in the Album directory.
Not sure if this helps or not? I have my settings as follows:
1. In Media/Music the Default Provider for Album and Artist Information is TheAudioDB Album Scraper
2. I have my music folders set up as follows:
Artist/Album with a Subfolder extrafanart. Images in here are just left named as they were downloaded (not renamed to fanart1, fanart2 etc)
When I add an artist I select information/choose art/fanart and select an image in the extrafanart folder. The rest of the images then cycle automatically in full screen.
Art is set to Extra Fanart
My music viz is Layout 3D:
Similar Artists (Johnybee Mod): Albums On, Banner On.
If you need anymore info about my settings please let me know.
