A couple of questions:
1) The use local files option. Does that download the artwork into where the media files are stored, or does it cache the artwork and put it into the Thumbnails folder, or both? I am assuming it's just the former.
2) Why is there a different naming convention? When kodi exports metadata to separate files, it stores the media named as filename-fanart.jpg but it seems the artwork downloader uses just fanart.jpg
After i ran the artwork downloader, I noticed duplicate images on my nas for each movie. Some images differ. So in that case, Is kodi now displaying the newly downloaded image or the one I had from before? I selected the option with no overwrite, so I am guessing the older image, but then why did the artwork downloader still download a new image when I had one already?
This addon really confuses me and the wiki description or the first post description is not totally clear. I don't have too much time to dig through the database and do additional testing to figure out the answers to my questions, that's why I'm asking here.
Thanks
