Something is not right here.

After modifying the API's, the AD addon it seems working and downloading the artworks but nothing is showing, the screen is black.

Artworks downloaded.



Nothing appears.



Even when I try to manually choosing the artwork.



Nothing appears.



After you modify your API's do you still have the same issue as mine? Someone chime in.

Having exactly the same issue - it seems work but nothing is downloaded and all the ratings are n/a when going manually...

I have a similar issue on Kodi 18, artworks downloading it's ok for me, but when I want to change season poster, there is no change :

I have this poster by default for this season

I download new one

I see it's correctly downloaded but no change on view

Hi,

What information to enter in The Movie DB to have a key ?

[iMak]

A cool update for Metadata and Artwork Module Addon, where you can enter your personal API Keys without modifying the .py files.

Nothing to do with artwork downloader I think...

Put the new APIs in which made it work again, but it won't show me banners, logos, or disc art for movies or TV shows. Is there a step I'm missing?

[Smirnoff13]
