Does your script have the ability to scan my folders and apply the extra art based on the way Kodi names the files either when I initially scrape the new movies or when I click a button within Kodi?

It can scan folders, it can load new movies, it can correct the artwork issues that AD causes due to not supporting movie-name prefix, it can load artwork (standard and non-standard) using the names Kodi uses (or also the"simple" variety), it can find problematic metadata and refresh it, it can basically do all that you require, but there's no need for you (or family/friends) to click buttons, or even think about how Kodi works, instead you just automate your requirements. I mean, if you really want to click a button, you could kick it all off that way...

All I've been trying to impress on you is a better, more efficient way of solving your problem than the overly manual approach you seem intent on following because you only see things in terms of duplicate artwork files and having you and your family click buttons.

If not, then I am sorry but your script isn't the solution I am looking for. Apologies if that hurts your feelings for some odd reason.

Lol, I can assure you my feelings are not hurt, I'm just gobsmacked at the crazy amount of effort you seem willing to put into keeping your sub-optimal, inefficient and excessively manual solution operational, yet you balk at one or two lines of "code".

Do you know how much effort my family put into maintaining their Kodi systems? None whatsoever. Zero. Zip. They've never done a library scan, or been bothered by problems with artwork or missing metadata, and it's not because I'm doing it all for them myself, it's because their systems are fully AUTOMATED - new content arrives, any time of the day or night, and Kodi is updated within minutes and without any user intervention.

Bah, I'm done. As they say, you can lead a horse to water...
