Music CDArt Downloader - mak77 - 2015-11-22

Since I had some issues with the historical CDArt Manager, I decided to do my own simple CDArt downloader.

It's quite basic, it assumes albums are grouped into folders, and uses the musicbrainz ids to download CDArts from fanart.tv, so mp3 must be properly tagged with MusicBrainz Picard. cdart.png is downloaded into the album folder.
Note it doesn't redownload cdart.png if one already exists and it has no options.
Also note it takes quite a bit of time for large libraries due to remote fetching.

I don't plan to add more features, since I would like to keep it simple, though I will try to fix bugs where possible.

Please contribute back missing content to MusicBrainz and Fanart.tv

Just download cdart? Or download others arts like fanarts e album covers?

RE: Music CDArt Downloader - mak77 - 2015-11-24

Only CDart.
MusicBrainz and Mp3Tag can already tag mp3s with album covers and there are other add-ons for fanart. I just needed a viable solution for CDArt.

Hello and thanks for this work. For sure CDArt Manager doesn't work very well with Kodi 16 Isengard or Jarvis and this new way is another solution to have the CDArts. It must work with Artist SlideShow. Blush

Don`t install on Jarvis, beta 2

RE: Music CDArt Downloader - mak77 - 2015-11-27

I didn't test Jarvis yet, may just be a problem in the xml declaration.
I'll take a loook and let you know.

Please test v1.0.1 and let me know if it installs properly now.

RE: Music CDArt Downloader - iLurk - 2015-11-28

I tried installing from zip and got the following error: "Add-on does not have the correct structure"

Using the latest stable version of Openelec

With this structure, don't work again.

Added 1.0.2, tried installing it in Jarvis and worked for me, if it doesn't work try installing after a Kodi restart.

RE: Music CDArt Downloader - sagrath - 2015-11-30

Very good... But one question:

Why not make to download de logo.png too?

RE: Music CDArt Downloader - mak77 - 2015-11-30

It's already possible for the skins to fetch the logo automatically using Skin Helper Service so it was redundant for me.
Plus the fact I'm only doing a single call to fanart.tv to get album info, and the answer does not include the artist logo, it only includes album data (cdart and coverart).
While it's not hard to download further artwork, I want to start with a simple but stable add-on before adding any new features.

RE: Music CDArt Downloader - sagrath - 2015-11-30

Oh, now i´m understanding why. thanks for the quick answer!

RE: Music CDArt Downloader - zag - 2015-12-02

Nice add-on.

I'd love the logo to be included as well, but understand why not. Nice little add-on Smile
