Can ViMediaManager manipulate the Kodi database or does it just create nfo files for Kodi? I know it does other things, but as far as the Kodi integration--database or nfo files?
Thanks
Thanks

Unfortunately I can't easily fix this problem in the current version of ViMM due to limitations in the tool I used to build it...
All is not lost though, using a newer version of the tool I should be able to scrape fanart.tv's api's once more, however I still need to rebuild ViMediaManager practically from scratch like I've been meaning to do for ages, but due to the amount of work needed to be done on it, and trying to get new ideas for an improved interface, I kept putting off the work, but now I guess I've got some proper motivation to build the new and improved ViMediaManager.
Of course, it'll take some time before this is done as I'll need to implement new ways of fetching the information, in the mean time you may want to disable fanart.tv support under 'Preferences > Services > Fanart.tv' to stop the message from showing up every time, and make do with art from alternative sources.
