Edit, I now think it's adding this image as a default image when there is no image available for download.

I just wanted to add that I have been experiencing the same behaviour. I too have noticed that AD adds the same wrong logo.png to any movie that has no logo on fanart TV. I am at a loss on how to solve it. I can give a debug log if needed. Be warned I have a very large collection so I am guessing the log will be big.

Someone uploaded this logo which was not assigned to a movie ID (not sure how the hell he was able to do that) and another mod approved it. As soon as I noticed it I denied the images (both SD and HD) hoping that this logo would stop popping up but it seems it's still here. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in this case.
I do apologize for the troubles this causes, though.

you run in a big loop where artwork downloader ask for "gui download" of all artwork available....for all movies. the only way out is to run through all 200-1000 movies by hitting esc 200-1000 times...or you escape this loop by sigkilling xbmc

nasty bug that happens from time to time

So, Martijn, is this a bug in the add-on or an incorrect implementation in the skin (in my case Aeon Nox)?

Does this keep the local ones or overwrite with new?

(2013-07-10, 17:30)capfuturo Wrote: Hello XBMC fellows,

This is something setting us all back in progressing with XBMC usability. Actually the way things work at the moment regarding scraping is disappointing to me, and not even mention the fact that there is no one-step command to force a true "re-scrape and replace" different than remove source or change content and reinstate (If you have hundreds of movies, good luck!). I will give you 2 examples:

1) Movie Collection: Red Cliff Collection.
XBMC set up with Universal and TMDB scrappers to scrape everything from TMDB only, retrieved neither posters nor backdrops for the collection, so XBMC shows instead the poster and backdrop for Red Cliff Part I. Fair enough and good, since there was actually nobody had uploaded posters or backdrops for the collection in TMDB. After realising this, I uploaded a poster for the collection, and what happened? Nothing. No matter what one does in XBMC or how long one waits, one gets no updated posters or backdrops whatsoever, or a way to manually download them from within XBMC using. This is wrong, because nobody around the world can get any reference to the thousands of cumulative hours spent by all of us editing this type of new images and information within TMDB to share with the community. It is useless. Then what happens? One is forced to use local NFO files and images to fix all this, and once that is done, there is no more editing in TMDB to share with the community or a way to double check if the missing info has been uploaded or the issue fixed within XBMC. Nobody cares anymore once local files are in charge of a beautiful user interface.

This is even worse:

2) Chopin: La Dame Aux Camélias
This Blu-Ray movie wasn't showing in IMDB or TMDB yet. So I added all the info in TMDB since to add something new to IMDB is a true and long pain, which only reminded me of my application for my first tourist visa to U.S.A back in the '90s and all the tedious bureaucratic nonsense. I just went through the process of adding the film "Attenborough: 60 Years in the Wild" to the IMDB because, guess what?! Nobody, not even BBC had the dedication to add it to IMDB when it was released last year. I yet have to see confirmation of the addition.

I completed all the info for La Dame Aux Camélias in TMDB, however XBMC and its scraper only shows the title, length and plot. No director, writer, poster, actors thumbs or backdrop. Why? Can't figure it out at all. Then tried to download extra art with artwork downloader, with configuration set to retrieve posters and images from TMDB, and it showed it can't find ID!! What do I do then and how all this info is going to be shared with the rest of the community via TMDB?? I don't want to thing my efforts inputting new info are waisted.

Anybody could give me a good reason why continuing waisting my time editing all this precious information in TMDB for all of us to share, instead of just editing my local files only from now on? Anybody with a solution to this? If I am missing something I would be grateful to be shown what is it and how to fix it.

Best wishes,

CF

Not many who have some of the answers will see this message and more notably your posting would be better handled and placed with the people who look after the movie database. I suggest a simple cut & paste of this message to their forums if they have such. I'm sympathetic to the issues you bring forth, but just pointing out this mistake changes little, there really needs to be a ground swell of interest and effort beyond a buried post. As I understand the very existence of these movie image databases are in some jeopardy and you might say a tipping point has to be reached before issues such as this can be addressed.

If you are committed into helping this situation, I suggest you carry your ideas ahead with those that manage these resources and ask how you may best be of assistance.

I would think that if I am on an item's entry view and I fire AD from there, I should get the same result, regardless of how I have gotten to the page....

Don't think the suggestion by cw-kid to overwriting files is the correct way: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114633&pid=1456799#pid1456799

Why these files are not copied to movie folder like all other media (logo, artwork, etc.)? And the possibility to make it possible in the next version.

Ok I've been testing it for a while and my suspicions were grounded, the issue presents itself when AD is launched from within the item page after having accessed it in the files view. Otherwise, everything is fine. In fact I would say now that the issue has a repro rate of 100% in the first case and 0% in the other.

So I'm asking again, is it an incorrect implementation in the Aeon Nox skin or is it a bug in the add-on? If it is the first I'll report it in the Aeon Nox forum... if it is the second, is it easy to fix?
