Although I've not had any issues with the quality of the material fetched. If you're not happy with a particular artwork you can always use the context menu in Movies to manually download another artwork (use 'Get Logo/Clearart GUI Mode') it will list all the available artwork for a movie and give you ratings and quality for each... or just file rename the higher quality one in your movie folder. I've just checked a few movies I've recently got and it seems to download the higher quality artwork automatically for me when in Solo Mode.

I have the images inside the movie directory with the quality that I would like to keep (poster.jpg and fanart.jpg). When I use the scraper it takes the image perfectly but when I export the library it saves the files to a lower quality and of course reduced size of bytes.

Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Change the filename of your higher quality images (<title>-<artwork type>.<artwork ext>) and always use "don't overwrite old files" when doing the library export.

It's what I do right now, but I have to be renaming files and in a large library it's a little tedious.

If all your higher quality artwork follow the same naming convention (they're all called 'poster.jpg' and 'fanart.jpg') then you could just write a script to rename them all Wink

(easily done in Linux).

this doesn't seem to be working for me anymore, no failed or missing items but getting 0 results for big movies like Guardians of the Galaxy 2

Ditto the above. Setting advanced logging parameters show that HTTP: 401 Unauthorized errors are being returned when accessing themoviedb.org and fanart.tv sites. I'm guessing the API key being used is no longer valid.

You would be better off searching for answers in the Artwork Downloader thread. The last few pages are most relevant
