I'm using Frodo and have tried both the TMDB and Universal Movie Scraper but the cast art work doesn't show. The only way to get the cast (actors / actress) art work is by refreshing each item individually. I have tried removing and adding source but the same every time. Any one else with this issue? I am running xbmc with shared mysql database. A method to refresh all movies would definitely help but doesn't exist?

I guess the question is.. what is different between a single refresh and re-scanning all items (or even single item) by deletion first? in my case only a refresh pulls all the images but this is not practical on large database.

I am getting the exact same issue on atv2 and XP and Vista. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I've written a script to do that but may have discovered a bug which will prevent cast artwork from being pre-cached.

Wow.. thanks MilhouseVH that's what I am after.. I will give that a go tonight. Cheers Smile

Did have a go at running this but no luck as yet. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Have you enabled the webserver in XBMC (default port 8080, and don't set a password)?

skeeney · (This post was last modified: 2013-03-23, 13:34 by skeeney.)

Hi MilhouseVH.. I have webserver enabled, port 8080, xbmc as username and no password. I also have allow control from remote and local system enabled. I can also connect ok with localhost:8080 in webrowser and I get open message also when I telnet on port 9090 as well..

Not sure if you can spot anything from below? thanks

Debug output

Nothing jumps out at me. The error is rather odd, it suggests the webserver is returning an invalid status response to Python.

Could you download the latest version of the script (I added some debug) and run as follows:

Code:
export PYTHONDEBUG=Y && ./texturecache.py c movies <somepartialmovienamethatneedsupdating>

and then paste the output (here, preferably surrounded by [code] blocks! Or on pastebin). Thanks.

Hi MilhouseVH, I ran wget again and your above above command.. output below.. thanks

running on all movies

debug for two individual queries

You've run the old version - when wget downloaded the new version, it saw the old version and downloaded the new version as texturecache.py.1.

Can you "mv texturecache.py.1 texturecache.py" and try again? Thanks.

Or download as:

Code:
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/public/texturecache.py -O ./texturecache.py && chmod +x ./texturecache.py

Just spotted that just before your response Smile

Updated my previous post above with two new pastebins.. thanks

It looks like the Files.PrepareDownload JSON method is failing to return sensible results.

For the movie "2 Days in New York", what poster do you have? It seems to be trying to extract it from the mkv.

I also just tried querying my apple tv 2 to rule out the xbmc intstall on my ubuntu laptop.. I got the below.. I am using mysql shared database, that shouldn't cause any issues should it as changes would simply be written to that after?

debug when running against atv2

MySQL shouldn't be an issue, it's what I use, and besides the script is using JSON to query the media library (so shouldn't care if it's MySQL or sqlite).

"For the movie "2 Days in New York", what poster do you have? It seems to be trying to extract it from the mkv."

Sorry MillhouseVH, how would I check that? From the xbmc install on both machines I can see fanart and dvd art. All that is missing is the majority of cast artwork. It's the same with all my movies. Thanks

@skeeney: Can you try downloading the script again, I just uploaded a version that closes the web connection before reusing it, just in case this is the problem.

Where you have the movie (presumably on your NAS), do you have any local artwork with the mkv? If so, what do you have? Or do you just have the mkv?

When it is trying to download the poster, it is using the following filename:

Code:
video@smb://W7MC/HDfilms4/2 Days in New York (2012)/2 Days in New York (2012) part1.mkv

so I'm guessing the "poster" is being extracted from the MKV container (which isn't something I've ever tried myself, do you have a sample file I can download?)
