WOW, so it took a suggestion to make XBMC a paid product, to get you up in a big stink, then you took the moral high ground, saying "XBMC is community driven"
like i was unaware of that, when i stated first you must be busy or i would have been fixed already. Who's the child in this situation Martijn!

I'm perfectly aware of the skill and time it takes to keep such a large project like XBMC alive and flowing well.
Have some dignity stop being a baby.

Keep up that good work!Nod

And..... is this causing Frodo to simply pick up artwork I've already put in for the show or would running artwork downloader still be needed?

If you have local nfo files, it should prompt you if yo uwant to ignore local info and refresh from the internet.
If you select YES, it will ignore your nfo file (and maybe local art - not sure about that). If you select NO, it will refresh information but use your nfo file.

I cannot seem to get it to auto download extra fanart for new tv shows or movies. I have it set to run in the background. What do i need to do for it to always run in the background and add all new items. Also is there a way for me to retro go back and get everything it didnt download since the initial download of everything?

It runs anytime you do an Update Library.

To force it to Run go to program and press Enter on it.

It doesnt seem to be. How do I make sure it runs when I do an update library?

It doesn't run automatically at all. Now unless something changed feel free to correct me. But you have to go to your addons and hit enter and it will get any of the artwork that you have checked in the settings.

So it always runs through the entire library and re-downloads the artwork for everything?

Not by default I do believe. It is stored initially in directory on the xbmc machine. You have to turn on use local folder for it to be stored in the movies folder.

Wrong. Please do some research before claiming such things.

It only stores the links in the database and then xbmc caches them on the local disk. If you enable local files it will download them to the movie folders and then xbmc still caches the files to local disk.
So no matter what they will end up on the SSD
