v17 How to use local "folder.jpg" file as a poster?
#1
Hello Kodi forum,

I got my moives like 

c:\MOVIES\[1995] AAAA\AAAA (1995).mkv  
                                AAAA (1995).jpg
                                folder.jpg

            \[2001] BBBB\BBBB (2001).mkv
                                 BBBB (2001).jpg
                                 folder.jpg                                

and so on...

When i Scrape it with The Movie DB scraper, it sets a poster from TMDB not local image like 'AAAA (1995).jpg' or 'folder.jpg'.
So I have to set it manually every single one.
Is there a way to set 'folder.jpg' as a poster when i scrape it?

Thanks

Scraping a movie via Kodi's default scraper will not automatically store posters and such as files next to a movie.
Try renaming it to AAAA (1995)-poster.jpg. It's the format that Kodi uses when doing a video library export.

iirc you can trick kodi to detect something else using advancedsettings.xml
Saying poster.jpg is folder.jpg
Read/follow the forum rules.

Wish I can trick it for folder.jpg.

Still it might be easier than set artwork one by one from kodi. Thank you.

There are plenty of file renaming tools out there, just saying Smile

Could you please post a syntax example telling KODI via advancedsettings.xml that poster.jpg or keyart.jpg is being replaced by folder.jpg.

I guess what @Martijn  was referring to is: https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#musicthumbs

But, regarding to our wiki, that's only possible for music cover and fanart.
