Was running kodi with different profiles on different boxes. I found that AS downloaded the images to its add_data/ folder in ArtistSlideshow. As I'm maintaining an ArtistInformationFolder (AIF) now, I would like to copy the already present pictures over. What would be the best way to do? Rename all downloaded images to fanart1.jpg, fanart2.jpg...fanartX.jpg and move them into the corresponding AIF folder?
So I'm looking for the best practice to keep the already downloaded images and prevent them to be downloaded again?!
There is an option in the settings to move all your artwork from your current AS download directory to the AIF and rename them to fanartxxx.jpg (or .png or .gif, etc) that I think will do what you want. To do that, leave all the settings as is, make sure you have the AIF set in the Kodi settings, and use the option in the ADVANCED section labeled "Move images to Kodi music artist folder." After that runs, go to the STORAGE settings and change the option "Store artist images in" to "Kodi artist information folder." As long as you leave "Store artist information in" as "addon_data folder" (or whatever it was when you started) then AS shouldn't download any of the images again, and from now on when new images are downloaded they'll be added to the AIF folder with the next fanartxxx number in the sequence.
