The script is getting the wrong album MBID.

Right you are!

What is recommended on how to handle the cdArt Manager database when you have multiple XBMC PC's ? Just have the DB on one main machine or some how have it synced across all the PCs so which ever one you open cdArt Manager on the DB is up to date.

I can confirm copying the userdata and addon folders from one PC to a second, makes cdArt Manager DB on second PC same as the first.
But this will quickly get out of sync if I make an update in cdArt Manager.

EDIT: I am using MYSQL on the WHS 2011 Server, so all the XBMC client PCs are looking at the same XBMC database. cdArt add-on uses the XBMC libraries right? So I guess it does not matter if cdArt add-on is storing its database locally on the client PCs, if I update the add-on database on one PC then the add-on database on that PC will then be up to date. If I then later on another client PC update the add-on database there, then that client PC will have an up to date add-on database. I don't think it really matters if the cdArt local add-on database(s) are not the same on all the PC's at the same time?


Thanks

No, it won't matter. All that will happen is, as one of your media centers gets progressively more out of date (versus the one you do most of the cdART scanning on) it will take longer for cdART to update the local db on the out-of-date machine, than the one you primarily scan on.

The artwork cdART downloads does not get added to the XBMC music library as far as I'm aware, and all art is cached on access now, so the art that's downloaded should propagate to other installs fine if it's on a central server (i.e: with the music itself).

I have 4 systems capable of accessing my MySQL Db, with the media located on a NAS. Although each install has an identical add-on loadout (3x Windows, 1x Android) and that includes cdART, I only generally do the scanning on the fastest system, which isn't the main HTPC as it happens.
