The problem was when I used Artwork Beef on one of those movie files it creates the extrafanart folder at the top level which then affects almost all other files even those in sub directories. I have a lot of files and I can't create a sub directory for all of them I have begun to create folders for movies with extra fan art and everything works 99% of the time. There are still those weird instances where for whatever reason the fan art doesn't rotate but that only happens occasionally now and there are ways (eventually) to get it working.(2018-12-26, 09:45)E net Wrote:Than it looks like you scraped at a false level.(2018-12-26, 04:22)mardukL Wrote: Sounds you put everything at 1 folder or something is wrong in your scrapper settings.Thanks. I already set up scraper settings before hand and and I use separate folders for movies with extra art and it still happens, even with those in separate folders. When I exported my library I found that Infinity War had been exported as extra fan art for almost every film. I'm guessing that when it took a long time to export my fan art, it was actually copying Infinity War to almost every folder. I know Export Library is not a skin function but this never happened before the update.
1st i highly recommend that method for saving files
Movie folder / filenaming
2nd
make your settings in your scrapper before scrape them
3nd
scrapping options
eneble "movies are in seperate folders"
eneble "recursive scanning"
than you should be fine
if everything is like you wanted
(infos,fanart etc)
export your library
(there i recommend "seperate file export for nfo" )
im sure there is an more deeper looking tutorial relating to "best practice for scraping and file saving" here in the forum
It might even be something to do with Artwork Beef I'm not sure so I need to do more investigations.
e.g. i sorted movies locally by genre folder
Movies/action/movie (year)/movie(year).fileext
Movies/biography/movie (year)/movie (year).fileext
than scraped each genre folder seperatly.
dont scrape the "Movies" folder
Anyway rotating fan art is all working now with the exception of one collection but I can live with that.
Thanks
