I have turned on the local files option, and it downloads and stores all of the available other selected formats but *never* any season posters. Same as reported by numerous other users over the past several months.

TRJB

It does. Or at least on my side, don't wanna be categorical.
I have local info turned on, also, and i do as i said a few posts back.
I'm gonna double check cos now u made me doubt.

edit: Yeah, it worked manually (Helix 14.2 beta 1 here), but, i had to insist:
1. went to the show and info.... artword downloader manual.... season posters....
2. it does not update automatically so i navigated to the season in the library, press c over the poster, manage, chose art, poster, looked for the one i got and it was not there
3. went back to the main library show, press info, artworkd downloader manual, season posters
4. got to the season in the library, press c over the poster of the season i wanted to change, manage, chose art, poster, local items folder, this time it was there, so i chose it.
5. had to repeat the 4th step once again, and this time it was in actual poster, so i chose that one, and voilá....

This is more or less what i used to do on gotham too... Agree, not automatic, but at least i can chose the season posters.

Ok heres my question........
Is it possible to change the download location for the artwork downloader addon? I want all the fanart media, logos, disc art etc. stored on my external HD not on my device itself as it only supports 8GB
So I was wondering if its possible to set up a 'Artwork' folder on my external server and have all my artwork downloaded to there from the addon, then thats where Kodi will look to go for all my fanart, logos, etc...as oppose to storing it under kodi->user data->thumbnails
I hope I explained it properly lol jist is I would love to download tons of fan art,logos, disc art etc. for each of my 500+ movies and 80+ tv shows without having it stored on my device itself but to my connected server where it can still be accessed by Kodi.

No

Run some test using a SimLink for the parent folder where artwork is saved and point it to an external/network drive. This would allow you to grow your storage capacity. If you have Windows I can help you with the commands if needed. For Linux, OS X and others you would have to do your homework!

Symlinks in an exported NFS share are tricky. Kodi would likely undo a symlink it sees via an nfs:// source to its native path. A symlink for a local folder to a mounted folder would work well instead, however you already have a MySQL and path susbtitution in place, so I believe Symlink are neither appropiate nor needed anymore here. When you have several boxes running Kodi, the recommended way is not to share databases but to use a MySQL database and have each XBMC machine refer to that database. You are already doing so, and I don't see how your internal Fire TV storage is being filled up, if you have set a path substitution for your local thumbnails to an external source already. Have you set up the right xml for this specific substitution?

This doesn't seem right to me, as I have a pretty big collection of video files in my library that have been successfully scraped for info, and seeing that the AD folder houses a fairly large sized "\temp" directory.

My advancedsettings.xml file is:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <videodatabase>
    <type>mysql</type>
    <host>192.168.79.100</host>
    <port>3306</port>

    <pass>kodi</pass>
  </videodatabase>
  <musicdatabase>
    <type>mysql</type>
    <host>192.168.79.100</host>
    <port>3306</port>
    <user>kodi</user>

  </musicdatabase>
  <videolibrary>
    <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>
    <importresumepoint>true</importresumepoint>
  </videolibrary>
  <pathsubstitution>
    <substitute>
      <from>/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails/</from>
      <to>nfs://192.168.79.100/AmazonFireTV/Thumbnails/KodiMain/</to>
    </substitute>
  </pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>

With the above config, I would assume that the artwork files and url's would be stored remotely on the NFS share....that is unless I didn't configure something right or am wrong in my assumptions, which wouldn't surprise me at this point

(2015-03-06, 03:24)DruTheFu Wrote: Do you happen to have an idea as to why the \temp directory for this Addon is filling up so much? I thought this addon doesn't actually download images (unless I enable the local files setting)? Are there any negative consequences for deleting the files in the \temp directory? Can path substitution be applied for this addon's directory or sub directories?

Thanks (again)
