Artwork Downloader supports only single movies per folder, so don't specify "use local files" if you have multiple movies in each folder otherwise you'll end up with all movies in the same folder referencing the same artwork (which will be called logo.png, poster.jpg, fanart.jpg etc. instead of <movie-name>-logo.png, <movie-name>-poster.jpg, <movie-name>-fanart.jpg etc.).

Could be, if you're enabling "Use local files" which will then try and write the artwork into your file system using the same filename over and over, then associate each movie with that same artwork file...
So either reorganise you movies one-per-folder, or just don't enable "Use local files". The latter will leave your movies referencing remote artwork, but if you want to convert this remote artwork to local artwork (with movie-name prefixes) then see the thread in my sig (specifically the mklocal.py script).

This way you can only get the most liked/best images. You can fiddle with it and see if it has any results.
I would suggest you reorganize your media to each being in their own folder first though
DiscArt never automatically downloads for me - starnzy - 2014-01-19
I wonder if anyone can help me with my missing discart - I have checked the settings within the Artwork Downloader addon, and ensured that under 'Movies', I have enabled discart (it appears to be enabled by default anyway). However, whenever I add new movies, and they are scraped, whilst all the other usual artwork is automatically downloaded and my thumbnails, poster art etc appear fine, I never see the discart (if I view the movie information page for example, where it should appear).
However, if I manually go into Artwork Downloader addon, untick all the other art options and just leave discart enabled, then manually launch Artwork Downloader, the discart is downloaded and appears fine!
I've also noticed that if I go to the movie information screen and under 'Artwork' choose 'Manual', then manually select discart, this also works.
Should Artwork Downloader not be downloading discart automatically when new movies are added/scraped to my library?
I should probably state that I'm using Aeon Nox 4.1.9 under Frodo 12.3 (same behaviour was happening for me under 12.2 also), and using MySql for my library.
Thanks for any help...

Unless it's supported by a third party skin (I think Confluence Modified may allow you to kick off AD following a library scan), there is no support for that. So not having discart etc. downloaded after you have added a new movie is totally normal and to be expected.

Disc art, banners, extra fanart, etc are not downloaded automatically when you scan new movies. Also you can launch AD from the "Programs" section and it will download all the art for you, but this you must do manually as well.

Ah I see. OK, thanks for confirming it's normal behaviour - at least i know it's not because I've misconfigured things

I usually go to the "Latest" submenu under Movies after scanning new ones and then select Choose Art > Auto for each movie to download all the art. If you're adding large numbers of videos all at once you can just launch AD but this can take much longer since it will scan your entire library before it starts downloading.
RE: Artwork Downloader - starnzy - 2014-01-19
Great tip - thanks wgstarks. I'll use this Art > Auto approach going forwards then.
Thanks
RE: Artwork Downloader - Milhouse - 2014-01-19
The thing is, when you add a new movie you often do want to run AD against your entire library, that way it picks up new artwork that may not have existed the last time you ran AD.
For instance, a newly released movie may not have logo or discart available when it is added to the library, but when you add another movie a week or two later AD might now find artwork for that previously added movie. I sometimes see AD finding artwork for more obscure movies I added months previously.
RE: Artwork Downloader - BiTeMeNoW - 2014-01-19
the easy way would be in the movie library mode open the quick navigation bar and choose Artwork Downloader so it will only check for movies.
Think about that ad will not check for settings on which art to download if you disabled some, so you have to change that in the skin files.
RE: Artwork Downloader - Stildawn - 2014-01-20
Can someone tell me how to get Artwork Download to download the season posters? I have the option selected, but I never see them in my folders and XBMC doesnt scrape them any more so I end up with blank posters in some shows.
RE: Artwork Downloader - BiTeMeNoW - 2014-01-20
I usually press on info and do an update, then choose no for all episodes and choose yes for getting new from internet.
That's it. You do not really need AD for this.
With AD I had to set to local files and do a manual search for the poster so it will be saved on the file system and then with the context key on the season (the empty one) choose select pic and browse on your file system for the downloaded one. Done.
Without local files I never handled it to work, but I admit I did not try very long.

I've tried this as I read somewhere else that this fixes the issue of XBMC not scraping new season posters as they are added. (I read that it will do all season posters if you add the whole series in from scratch, but for continuing series that start a new season it doesnt work).
But no matter how many times I try it it never works for me.
So AD doesnt download the season posters? I know I can get them manually from thetvdb.com, but that could take awhile. If AD got them, then I would assign them manually using the select artwork thing.
