Of course, it works with the usual stuff, e.g. posters and fanart.jpg.
Artwork Downloader can also fetch local artwork if it's enabled in the settings.
Take a look here for a better explanation.

Thanks for the link - it helps. So I assume the need for AD only applies to 'nonstandard' artwork, specifically landscapes, logos, clearart and discart, but standard artwork like banners, posters, fanart are scraped as normal? Do you know about season fanart? It looks like Frodo now has standards for that as well.
Regarding upgrading vs. clean, how did you deal with watched flags for your library? I believe the watched flag import/export tool is broken for Frodo...
AW: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - upD8R - 2013-01-21
Not sure about season fanart as I don't use it in my setup. Also not sure about banners.
I use a mySQL DB to synchronize everything. Basically I installed a fresh Frodo and switched on mySQL. So the database was upgraded. After that I deleted all sources in XBMC bit did not move them. When adding those sources again, the watched status was still there. I deleted the sources because I cleaned the artworks and adapted to the Frodo naming scheme.
Sounds confusing bit I did several tests to find the best upgrade strategy for my setup and this behaviour was reproducible

I haven't replace Eden yet but I did have Frodo in it own folder and use the -P switch to play with it. It installed pretty easy. I also did it over Eden and it was a mess. So I removed and reinstalled Eden. I am waiting for final of PseudoTV and Frodo before I replace Eden for real.

Ember 1.3.0.7 Fix3:
- Actors cache fixed
- added seasonXX-poster.jpg (season-speacials-poster.jpg is automatically activated) to tv-shows (Frodo support)

You can overwrite the old files if you already have the version 1.3.0.7 Fix2.

How do you enable banner support? I see banner.jpg but it is grey out. Thanks Dan for everything downloading now.

In selecting the images, posters and banners can be selected separately (i hope next release).

RE: New Home for Ember Media Manager (Official Thread) - >>X<< - 2013-01-22
I take it your keeping the old image types even though your adding new image types for frodo so EMM remains compatible with older versions of XBMC ?
One thing that still puzzles me is why when using Automatic (Force best Match) it fetches the wrong one, but when using Ask or (re)scrape the correct one is always listed correctly under exact match and is also at the top of all the other lists, it seems when using automatic it grabs the bottom one from the popular titles list?
Anyway thanks for your fix and keeping EMM alive

I notice with Ask you still get strange subtitle before some movies but, I would say that is more crappy IMDB fault.

Yes, all old styles remain available.
I know that problem with auto scraping. I will again try to improve the results.

Both are great I did try Mediacompainion a while back and I prefer EMM but, I could see myself using it if something ever happens to EMM to cause it to die.
