If you're able you could update to the latest version which will provide me some more debugging info.
Hi Stef.an,
Thinking about the setting you mentioned I tested the following scenario:
1) Starting assumptions:
- dowloaded and installed last cdArt manager release from your remote repository
- kodi music library and cdArt manager DBs perfectly aligned --> same artists, albums and local cdarts
- local coverArts from mp3 file tag already available in local album folders
2) Cancel all the Artist/albums subfolders in local music library, except for 3 Santana albums
- kodi music library DB has been aligned to the new local music library
- cdArt manager DB has NOT been aligned to the new local music library
3) Enter in cdArt Manager
- verify the setting you mentioned "Overwrite low-res existing cdARTs" (now I understand that with cdARTs statement, both cdArts and coverArts are contemporary managed by the addon) was flagged On
4) Select coverArts/Automatic download from the menu --> now all the coverArts have been downloaded successfully, except for the 3 Santana's albums (already available from mp3 file tag, as declared in step 1)
5) Then, in the local music folder all the artist/album subfolders structure has been rebuilded by cdArt Manager during coverArts automatic downloading, always except for Santana folder
What do I understand from this testing scenario? --> The problem was where you imagined - "Overwrite low-res existing cdARTs" option in the Advanced settings menu !!! If cdArt Manager, during automatic downloading procedure, finds an already available local copy of coverArt, even if the "Overwrite low-res existing cdARTs" option is flagged On, It doesn't overwrite the local copy of coverArt
Now I also undestand why I have not had problems with cdArts --> no previously downloaded local cdArts were available in local music library :-)
Are you able to fix it in the next release of addon?
Many thanks for you time and support
