If there's some extra info on how to use the addon please let me know.
Alternatively if you or some user is available for explanation on Ircnet that would be also very much appreciated.
How did you erase your music library?
Steps:
- Add you music to XBMC's Music Library
- While XBMC is building the library, open up the settings to cdART Manager(have cdART Manager highlighted then open context menu -> addon settings)
- Set up your folders...
- Setup your Custom Colours(if you want)
- Setup Extra settings(except for Build Database in background)
- Now select OK
- When XBMC is finished building the library, open cdART Manager
- If the script detects that the addon's database is missing or incomplete, it will start building the addon database.
- If everything goes well, the addon database should be built(takes about the same amount of time that XBMC takes)
- Once the addon's database is built, you should be able to start using the script.
- There are 2 download methods for each artwork form. Manual and Automatic. Selecting Automatic is the easiest to start. clearLOGOs and Fanarts often will have multiple images available, Manual(Search Artist) allows you to pick which one you want.
If you find that the script freezes up while building the database and you are using Windows, you will need to delete the lcdart.db files from the userdata/addon_data/script.cdartmanager folder.
