I have a few questions about my process and the artwork downloader. Accompanied by some screen shots, I hope someone will be able to help me solve my issues.
I use Couch Potato to download my movies to my primary computer/hard drive. The folder structure that CP creates looks like this:
(for some reason, the clearart doesn't seem to download, even though I have it selected to in CP, but thats another question for the CP Forum)
I update my library on my lounge room NUC and it adds the movie, however the logo/clear art / discart do not seem to add, as per the screenshot below:
To add this additional artwork I have to manually run the Get Logo/clearart in the MQ5 menu:
My first question, is how do I get this to run automatically when it adds the movie to my library?
At the moment, running the manual 'get clearart', Artwork Downloader runs through the download process, but it looks like it is downloading everything again from the internet, rather than using the images in the same folder as the movie:
How do I get it to use the local data rather than redownloading it. I have this setting turned on in the add-on settings.
Also, my understanding was that if Artwork Downloader did download something from the internet that was missing from the local folder (in this case the clearart for example) that it would save it to the local folder. I confirm this hasn't happened. How can I get it do that?
My settings in Artwork Downloader look like this:
What am I doing wrong.
This is what I want:
- Artwork Downloader to run Automatically when a new video is added,
- To download all clearart/discart/logo/posters/extrafanart etc
- To download first from the folder where the movie is, then download from the other sources if missing in folder
- If downloading from the other sources, I want that new stuff saved to the movie folder.
Apologies for the long post, I just like to make sure I'm very clear for ease of help.
Thanks very much.
