thanks

but i can not figure out why artwork downloader can not load in

local saved image called
moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-discart

why does it need to look for disc.png ? as when you export a library xbmc will save the disc.png as Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-discart

what i am saying is why does artwork downloader not look for these first then if it can not find Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-discart it falls back onto disc.png ?

as you always will need to versions of the same picture as artwork downloader will look for

disc.png
clearart.png
logo.png

and inport them from the local drive to xbmc but then when you export a library xbmc will save them as

Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-discart
Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-clearlogo
Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-clearart

so now you have two versions of the same picture. why can artwork downloader not use the same file format as xbmc local so when you do export the library it will not need to save them as there already there.

i need to use export library and pictures as this is what i use to export all my thumbs and pictures for my tv shows so i have no option not to use that.

i just think artwork downloader should try and find
Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-discart
Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-clearlogo
Moviename (1962) (1080p Blu-ray)-(DTS-HD MA 5.1)-clearart

first and if that fails should then check for

disc.png
clearart.png
logo.png

i hope you understand what i mean

cheers

Good night meridius,

I totally understand what you are saying and agree. Since I am neither responsible for this add-on nor I understand why the design works as it currently does with regards to naming convention, I hope its developer sees your post and offers you a proper explanation and/or a way to work around the difficulty you have explained.

I personally use a 3rd party app as a media manager which takes care of placing a NFO for each movie and downloading and renaming extra art according to whatever I need in XBMC fast and easy, which avoid the build-up of duplicate files (in term of their functionality) within the folders. I found it is better for me, so I don't have to deal with all this lack of reciprocity between the naming convention of the library export and artwork downloader, and all this trial and error, and all this experimentation which is incredibly time consuming.

Best,

CF
