I have used Kodi as music player for many years, but only with basic manual tagging (mp3tag) and embedded cover art. I’m not a huge fan of web based scrapers and I prefer to have all my files and info stored locally, so now when I wish to add fanart and artist thumbs I have done it manually. I have named and placed them as recommended:
C:\Music\Artistname\fanart.jpg
C:\Music\Artistname\artist.jpg
I thought when scanning/updating my library these would show up, but nothing is added (except cover art as before). I have all set to Local information only, I have removed and re-added the source, done the Clean library, so I’m obviously missing something. Is it a setting, or do I need an addon, or is this not possible to do without creating NFO’s? I know I can browse and add artist thumb and fanart for each artist manually, but I was hoping a scan could do this.
I tried a few addons for cdart and slideshows but none of them helped for what I wish to do. Perhaps I should add that I'm on Krypton 17.3 with Estuary skin.
Thankful for any advice!
