I'm curious about the decision behind using landscape images rather than fanart. In terms of file size they seem to be the comparable.

However about a third of my movies don't have landscape images whereas all of them have fanart. And since most skins use fanart images, most people already have them downloaded in their image cache. If ptvl used fanart there would potentially be less hits on fanart.tv (I imagine my ptvl keeps hitting fanart.tv every time it encounters a movie where I don't have a local landscape image. Most likely it ends up not finding one on there either.)

Just curious about what makes landscape images better for ptvl.

Thanks

I use landscape because that's what I prefer and I'm the skins designer Tongue

PTVL is designed to use fallbacks when the primary art isn't found.... Ie. Landscape falls back to fanart.

Has nothing to do with extra hits, sounds more like I broke the fanart caching function... Easy fix
I figured out the issue. Artwork downloader saves the images named as fanart.jpg
Kodi exports images with the name filename-fanart.jpg

PTVL only looks for fanart.jpg and does not see filename-fanart.jpg

I used artwork downloader to download fanart with the overwrite setting turned off. It ended up replacing all my fanart in my library because it ignored the filename-fanart.jpg and thought I didn't have any fanart.

Now PTVL does fall back to fanart but I ended up with messed up artwork :-(

I'm planning on going back to the original ones but could you add support for the filename-fanart.jpg naming convention? Technically it is the official kodi way.

Thanks
