If you select both local and internet images, your local folder is used to cache everything, so after not very long, every local folder would have more than five images anyway. My guess is you're trying to stop duplicate images from downloading when you have lots of existing fanart. I get it, and I'd be interested in some feedback from other folks on whether this would be useful or not. Then I need to figure out how to explain the new setting in a very few characters. Wink

I will clarify my thinking, and try to show you how useful it could be Smile

The goal is to have quality fanart in the music visualtion in first, and when it's not possible, still have something ont the screen.

My fanart are from fanart.tv (via auto DL in cdart manager addon). So they are all in 1920*1080, good quality etc etc.
Unfortunatly, some Artist have only 1 fanart, and music visualisation with only 1 fanart is a little boring :p (same with 2 fanart :x)

Of course, I can specify quality of internet downloaded jpg via "Minimal image width and height:" option (and select 1920*1080).
This way, i use both local and internet, and all will be OK.

But, there is a but ...
Some Artist haven't good quality fanart on last.fm or htbackdrops.com
In this case i'll get nothing for this artist in music visualisation.

Finally, I've to keep internet "low resolution", but dont really want to see them in the middle of my HD quality fanart visualisation.

By the way, i dont remember if I already say that : very great job on this addons (on my top 5 Smile ).
thx for this.
