I wonder if anyone can help me with my missing discart - I have checked the settings within the Artwork Downloader addon, and ensured that under 'Movies', I have enabled discart (it appears to be enabled by default anyway). However, whenever I add new movies, and they are scraped, whilst all the other usual artwork is automatically downloaded and my thumbnails, poster art etc appear fine, I never see the discart (if I view the movie information page for example, where it should appear).
However, if I manually go into Artwork Downloader addon, untick all the other art options and just leave discart enabled, then manually launch Artwork Downloader, the discart is downloaded and appears fine!
I've also noticed that if I go to the movie information screen and under 'Artwork' choose 'Manual', then manually select discart, this also works.
Should Artwork Downloader not be downloading discart automatically when new movies are added/scraped to my library?
I should probably state that I'm using Aeon Nox 4.1.9 under Frodo 12.3 (same behaviour was happening for me under 12.2 also), and using MySql for my library.
Thanks for any help...

The thing is, when you add a new movie you often do want to run AD against your entire library, that way it picks up new artwork that may not have existed the last time you ran AD.
For instance, a newly released movie may not have logo or discart available when it is added to the library, but when you add another movie a week or two later AD might now find artwork for that previously added movie. I sometimes see AD finding artwork for more obscure movies I added months previously.

the easy way would be in the movie library mode open the quick navigation bar and choose Artwork Downloader so it will only check for movies.
Think about that ad will not check for settings on which art to download if you disabled some, so you have to change that in the skin files.

Can someone tell me how to get Artwork Download to download the season posters? I have the option selected, but I never see them in my folders and XBMC doesnt scrape them any more so I end up with blank posters in some shows.

I usually press on info and do an update, then choose no for all episodes and choose yes for getting new from internet.
That's it. You do not really need AD for this.
With AD I had to set to local files and do a manual search for the poster so it will be saved on the file system and then with the context key on the season (the empty one) choose select pic and browse on your file system for the downloaded one. Done.
Without local files I never handled it to work, but I admit I did not try very long.
