I really like what you’ve done Dave implementing the artist information folder changes.
There’s one thing that’s bothered me though (and reason I haven’t switched to it): Using fixed names for extra fan art (fanart1, fanart2 etc)
I use Artist SlideSow add-on which downloads extra fanart automatically using a hash file name. I’m pretty sure the hash name is same for each specific fanart file so it doesn’t download the same file again as it already exists. When it’s renamed to fanart, it will download another hash version.
Anyway, the simple solution would be for the new artist information folder to allow for an ‘extrafanart’ Sub-folder for each artist and for Kodi to blindly presume (and consume) all the .jpg files in that folder as ‘fanart’.
It’s basically what Kodi 17 did and how Kodi 18 does without the artist information folder switched on.
Comments or solutions most welcome.
