In that better explanation your findQuote:The "use local files" option in AD doesn't mean what you think it means.
Sequence AD works:
1. Searches fanart.tv for artwork for movie/tv show
2. Checks if there is already an existing URL link in your DB for the artwork, if the link exists it will do nothing and move on to next item
3. If there is no URL link, it will check for "use local files" setting and if enabled will download artwork from fanart.tv and set the file in your DB, if setting is disabled it will just use the URL link directly
I'm still baffled why these changes went in like this, personally. What I read from this is no matter what, your local files will not be used, and you're left at the mercy of what AD [randomly] picks off the site in batch mode, unless you want to change each and every item manually using AD. The only thing the "use local files" setting does is download a local copy from the website vs. setting XBMC to retrieve a copy via HTTP from fanart.tv when needed. Did I misunderstand how things work?
