RE: Artwork Downloader - Ruk12345 - 2017-01-14
Hello,
Rather newb question here.
I have used XBMC now Kodi for years honestly never ran or was aware of what Artwork downloader did.
As I pre scrape prior to kodi my files have most if not all art available for them. Just today I cam to the realization that the clear art and logos never appeared in Kodi despite me having that art with the local media files. That's what lead me here ლ(╹◡╹)ლ
(Libreelec Kodi 17 on intel NUC all media remotely shared via LAN with Aeon MQ7 skin)
My Kodi DB is set up on MySQL
I manually scrape all my TV with TMM prior Kodi libary update.
I have come to realize that certain art will only be used in my skin (AeonMQ7) after I manually run the artwork d/l command.
My questions:
1. Despite haveing all art already scrapped Kodi/My skin won't use some art such as clear logo UNLESS I run artwork downloader correct ?
2. As The basic art posters/fanart/season posters etc. is already set to my liking and I have the other art scraped already locally , I SHOULD enable the "use local art" option on art downloader correct? Also only check the art that's missing like clear/logo/charter art and leave the art I am happy with unchecked correct?
3. Using Local files only option ART D/L will only add the art I have scraped and stored correct?
4. Lastly I have a second firetv box in bedroom (using same SQL DB) after I run ART D/L on my main Intel NUC box it is exclusive to that install of kodi correct? It won't be added on second box due to shared library?
Thanks for bearing with me on this and I thank you for reading and thanks in advance for the help.

It means that loading the images will be slower, can you please encode the picture during the downloading process to avoid that?
Thanks!
You'll only take the slower ARM software decode path once per new uncached artwork. After the software decoded artwork is stored in your thumbnail cache as a non-progressive image it will be decoded in future by the GPU (hardware decode) so you should no longer see this message for cached artwork. If you do, your thumbnail cache is screwed up (maybe due to sharing via pathsub).

I am on Nvidia Shield and I cannot install this addon don't know why. It says "failed to install dependency" everytime it reaches the install part of this addon. I've tried installing this via skin, or solo install. Nothing Works. Dafuq?
RE: Artwork Downloader - naDah - 2017-02-05
So did AD stop working in Krypton? I can't download any fanart.

Does the Addon has issue with Kodi 18 nightly?
RE: Artwork Downloader - Wanilton - 2017-02-13

Did you try different movies? Some movies has no artwork.
RE: Artwork Downloader - baza_dwa - 2017-03-03
Hello
Is there a way to save/keep images downloaded by AD in a separate per-file directories?
Like:
some movie.mkv
.some movie\fanart1.jpg
.some movie\fanart2.jpg
etc.
RE: Artwork Downloader - tobytyler - 2017-03-07
I upgraded to Krypton and then installed Artwork Downloader. It works beautifully on the first 500 movies but won't updated the next 1000 or so. I've tried removing it and reinstalling. Restarted things and tweaked settings. Suggestions? Is there another addon that will get batches of movie posters like AD? That's all I care about.
EDIT: I'm on to something. The database is finding some files called VIDEO and that's where AD stops working. Haven't quite fixed it yet but it's a clue.
RE: Artwork Downloader - aussie_huddo - 2017-03-13
I have an issue which I have detailed on the fanart.tv forums here.
From what I can work out AD uses IMDB ID's to look up artwork but some files have incorrect or missing "imdb_id" fields on the fanart.tv site so artwork is not found. I was told in that forum that the issue is with AD so I'm posting here to see.
Is there a way to get AD to use TMDB ID's for lookups or any other solution to my issue?
Also it seems that this add-on has no active dev which is a shame because I would like to see some updates and new features.
RE: Artwork Downloader - TheBigRoberto - 2017-03-24
Can anyone explain to me why I keep getting these odd posters, instead of the original ones?
It happened a few weeks ago, I changed them all back to the original but, now they're back again
RE: Artwork Downloader - Charger Hellcat - 2017-03-25
For this extra art, what do you have to name the files to get Kodi to recognize and add automatically like posters?

I'm having the same issue. I'm running SPMC 16.6 on an Nvidia Shield, using Titan skin version 3.6.120. As interesting/clever as some of these alternative posters may be, I want the poster image to be a quick visual shorthand for the movie, so having familiar images is a plus. And it is frustrating that after I went through and changed back most of the really random ones one at a time, they seem to have defaulted back.
I've looked through the AD settings and don't see anything to change; is this a skin issue?
