OK finally all upgraded to Frodo and trying to make sense of all the topics on Frodo artwork and AD. I've seen the numerous discussions on AD and 'use local files' setting. Am I correct in understanding the following:
Under 'normal' operation AD, will place a URL link to the respective artwork on fanart.tv when run.
When using the 'use local files setting', AD will not use your local images for disc, logo, thumbnail, clearat, etc, instead opting to download a local copy to the DB with a URL link. It does not do what it seems to imply, in that it would first look for these files locally, and if found place a copy in the DB. The only thing this setting does is place a local copy of the file it downloaded into the DB.
Did I misunderstand anything?
Thanks for the help,
D
