Thanks for the detailed response much appreciated.

1st) We need to copy all files from extrafanart folder into the main folder, but only fanart1-9.jpg (in my case my fanart0.jpg is a copy of main fanart)
(It is already assumed that the files are already named according to convention fanart0-9.jpg. I used the Media Companion rename fix.

My fanarts in the extrafanarts folder are named with random letters 8rqJB3Nc2z5q0T6ZVXRXbAsQRGV.jpg.

You said you used the Media Companion rename fix, does that rename them to fanart1.jpg etc?

Where is the option in MC for that?

Not yet (a know about). I know too little about scripting although I'm already trying to work with something. Maybe we can work on some kinda solution together?

I'm searching for some windows batch files to move files from extrafanart to main folder. Would need to test on few folders to check. Saw the following comment on a website
 

Code:

Use the 'for' command: open a command window, then use something like the following, assuming you have files in c:\foo\bar\ and want to move them to c:\foo\ :

for %F in (c:\foo\bar\*.*) do move /Y %F c:\foo

The /Y switch turns off confirmation; remove it if you want to confirm each file move.

edit: if you want to save this into a batch file and run it from the parent folder, you can, but you need to double-up the percent signs (i.e. %F becomes %%F)

@latts9923 have included extracharactert for TvShows and Movies in his Aeon MQ 7 Multi-Mod (Krypon & Leia) as an experimental feature or some kind of easter egg - and only in RightListView.

Thanks for the characterart images. As movie characterart is not an official artwork type, will it wake up my hard drive like the extrafanarts?

If it does i may consider not implementing it on my skin for the moment.


One last thing do you know if you need to do the artwork whitelisting in the advanced settings?

Or does artwork beef do the same thing as this?

Per the kodi wiki it mentions

Each artwork type must be whitelisted in advancedsettings.xml to be added to the library automatically during scanning and scraping.

Thanks again
