HELP Needed:
I'm implementing the image scraper from FANART TV for movies.

I need a help to understand where you want to map the different images.
I do suggest to use AVATAR as an example as it does have all of them.

I need to understand what you want as a poster and what as a fanart, other types will be added later as I was writing before

here is my suggestion
HD Movie Logos -> for later use
ClearLOGOs -> for later use
ClearART -> Fanart
HDClearART -> Fanart
cdART -> for later use
Movie Backgrounds -> Fanart
Movie Banner -> Poster
Movie Thumbs -> Fanart

Is it correct?

Most of the artwork on fanart.tv does not map to the artwork types that we currently scrape with Ember; they are new types used by various skins such as Aeon and MQ to name a couple examples.

HD Movie Logos -> logo.png (choose this first)
ClearLOGOs -> logo.png (use this as a backup if no HD Logo in the lanaguage specified)
ClearART -> clearart.png (use this as a backup if no HD ClearArt, in the language specified)
HDClearART -> clearart.png (choose this first)
cdART -> disc.png
Movie Backgrounds -> Fanart (this is the only fanart.tv artwork that might overlap with 'typical' artwork scraping from IMDB/TMDB)
Movie Banner -> Banner (not poster - Frodo supports both now, <moviename>-poster.jpg/png and <moviename>-banner.jpg/png or poster.jpg/png and banner.jpg/png)
Movie Thumbs -> landscape.png

Special note - the Logos and ClearArts are language-specific and should be tagged with the appropriate language. Will want to have a setting allowing users to specify a language so as not to get a bunch of foreign-language artwork.

Thank you for the clarification. Some notes

1) Logo.png - to be added at a later stage, today is not possible to save
2) Clearart.png - to be added at a later stage, today is not possible to save
3) Disc.png - to be added at a later stage, today is not possible to save
4) Landscape.png - to be added at a later stage, today is not possible to save
5) Fanart.tv does not provide any language filtering API, all images are returned without any tag. Is impossible to detect the language in a programmatic way

I think landscape is always without 0:
season1-landscape.jpg
season8-landscape.jpg
season10-landscape.jpg

I cannot believe they did such a mess.... at least the images name should be identical Season01 not half with the 0 and half without...
can anyone check on Frodo?
or can we contact the XBMC dev team on this? (I opened a thread asking to help in the generic XBMC support)

We need the same style like downloading with the XBMC plugin.

which plugin are you referring to?

The addon calls "Artwork Downloader" and search local files to add it to the XBMC-DB.
The naming conventions are here: Link

And yes, it's a mess
