Hi Glenn,
I finally had time to spend on my music fanart issues. Since 99% of all my music playback is done via the Google Music plugin. I had to figure out where fanart information is stored (URL's are all embedded in artist.nfo, album.nfo, *.strm text files; cached in my Kodi Music Media folder hierarchy,
IE,
D:\Multimedia Files\Music\Korn\artist.nfo
D:\Multimedia Files\Music\Korn\Issues\2-Falling Away from Me.strm
Then, made PowerShell script to extract all relavant links from all these reference files; and, download them to Kodi-standard fanart directory structures. I can pretty much do anything using Powershell (especially with access to all .NET classes)!!
<FanartDirectoryMusic>D:\Multimedia Files\CD-Artwork\</FanartDirectoryMusic>
D:\Multimedia Files\CD-Artwork

I finally enabled Yatse2 service with default settings on both Kodi and Yatse.
However, for whatever reason, the Yatse2 Service in Kodi doesn't seem to detect Yatse2 running on port 5000 (I've already confirmed that the socket is open and listening on localhost via port scanner). Hence, Yatse is STILL trying to only looks for fanart json tags from kodi's http server;
Glenn, could you please download my Kodi / Yatse debug logs from the zip package below? All relavant info should be in the zip file. If there's anything missing, please let me know!
