I tried AD and although the majority of the artwork was just fine, some were not appropriate (low quality, fuzzy or a random screenshot, etc.). When you have thousands of movies, it becomes pretty tedious to do manual download and renaming even if only 5-10% require extra work. I'm trying to figure out how I can switch to using AD as the main artwork retriever, while having the ability to pick certain artwork over others.
The reason I'm forced to use AD is because the PTVL addon author refuses to support the other naming convention. He is very talented, but can be a bit like the soup nazi (no offense, it's a seinfeld reference)
If you're not happy with the automatically selected artwork, there's no other option but for you to select something different. The problem then is to get the local path of the new artwork into the media library, and for this AD can't help you unless you use the same naming convention, which is an issue for you.
I've already told you how you can convert remote artwork to local artwork files with the movie-name prefix naming convention - it's called mklocal.py, see sig - but if your intention is to use AD alone then you're stuck with it's limitations.
