You can pass the directory to be scanned, typically I'd use this to scan a specific Season folder when a new episode is added, but you could try using the root of your movies or tvshows folder and see how far that gets you.

XBMC is not picking up an album cover. When I press "i" for album information it shows the correct album cover, the same when I navigate to the folder following the "Files" section. But the album cover doesn't show on the library nor when the album is being played. I've tried removing temporarily the Album cleaning, purging, and adding back with no changes, any idea?
The JSON query shows the thumbnail field empty:
pardu@john:~$ texturecache.py j albums "Rock And Roll Heart"
[
{
"albumid": 1790,
"artist": [
"Lou Reed"
],
"fanart": "image://http%3a%2f%2fassets.fanart.tv%2ffanart%2fmusic%2f9d1ebcfe-4c15-4d18-95d3-d919898638a1%2fartistbackground%2freed-lou-5097ae467abfd.jpg/",
"label": "Rock and Roll Heart",
"thumbnail": "",
"title": "Rock and Roll Heart"
}
]

I ran it from my main pc using @section=pi and it ran no problem... so seems it was just the pi running out of memory. thanks.
A question:
Since this is one of the best tools ever made for XBMC/Kodi and your now a member of Team Kodi are there plans to add your script to Kodi? as settings or an addon?
I know earlier i think Martjin mentioned making an addon out of it(if i'm not mistaken), but it is so usefull making it official seems like a no brainer.

Not with this script, which is designed to work with libraries. I don't really think there's a solution for what you want, other than extracting the data directly from the database where I think it's stored against the path.

I tried moving the 'path' table from old database to new but it didnt work, also tried the 'bookmark' table, no go either. Bugger.
Is the 'myvideos.db' the correct database for watched state?
