Two quick questions. I have been looking for a good solution for album art because with movies, TV shows and even all my roms that I launch through advance launcher...I was able to simply use the universal scraper, run the initial scrap and outside from manually adjusting a few titles, all around it worked pretty well. Music with XBMC, as it would seem, is not quite that easy. Which brings me to my two questions:
I downloaded this scripts and when I ran it the first time it literally took all day (over 9 hours) to run. I don't have a huge musc collection (only about 50GB) so I am wondering if that is normal. Then after it was done nothing had really happened. From the menu screens (no matter if I use Transparence or Alaska Revisited MOD skin) there is no art of any kind shown. Also when I go back to the library there is no art at all either. Apparently I am doing something wrong...and should it really take 9+ hours to build the database?
Also, through reading this thread I saw that the best folder structure is <Artist><Album><Files> but I actually like to organize my music at the top level by genres so would it be ok to have my collection organized like <Genre><Artist><Album><File> ?
Thanks.
Also where is this database and how big is it? I assume it's in <user>/AppData/Roaming/XBMC but I can't find it. I am just worried that when something ran for 9+ hours it just added huge amounts of data to my system. Currently my XBMC folder under Roaming is about 600MB but I am not sure how big it was before I ran the CdArt Manager script.
