Have a gander here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=258886&pid=2752535#pid2752535 I am following that thread, and from another thread it seems animated artwork is being uploaded to https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=215727 with rumors that there may be a site with API access comming soon.

Enable the Sets filter, and when you go to select which sets to show, uncheck the entry -None- Only movies that are in sets will be displayed. Then select all the movies and press F4 to bring up the batch wizard. Select Download missing movieset artwork and only the artwork will be downloaded. Centrally if this is what you've selected. Cheers RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - scott967 - 2018-09-01 Actor filter I've been trying the actor filter, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Additionally, it seems to sort the entries for selection by appearances, and then by alphabet so it's difficult to find an actor based on name -- if you don't know how many appearances they have you have to search by scrolingl from top to bottom of the actors list looking for the actor. scott s. .

Download Link for MC 3.717b x86 & x64 Revision History RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - chrissix666 - 2018-09-01 I am currently testing the new version and it works very well! I especially love being able to write all available ratings in the nfo now. Kodi supports all ratings completely native, I have now rewritten the skin so that the .nfo is used and not on SkinHelper live scraper. It is still a bit provisional, but it shows nicely that it works very well on the .nfo. That's what it looks like in a Top250 movie. https://ibb.co/evVr0K With a good movie https://ibb.co/iTZZLK For a "normal" movie https://ibb.co/fgsX7z In a bad movie https://ibb.co/gFF27z If no ratings are available (for e.g. youtube fan movies) I have instead of 0.0 to show a text output built. https://ibb.co/hbwELK The blue marks are still data on SkinHelper real-time scraper The yellow markings are those that have now been taken over by the .nfo: https://ibb.co/ijQc7z The Skin loading the DialogVideoInfo.xml now much smoother and the traffic in the background is now much less. Very nice! _____ Regarding scraping and data, I have now made some samples: With some movies no rotten entry in the .nfo created (because no entry exists online) Sometimes, however, a .nfo entry was created with blank data (<Value> 0.0 </ value> <votes> N / A </ votes>) Most likely it is that then a rotten online entry exists, but still no ratings were submitted. I also checked how the .nfo spellings are taken over by kodi. If there is no data, or the data is empty, or "N / A" in the votes, it always seems to pass "0" or "0.0". But I think it's a Kodi internal mistake I noticed: The IMDB/TMDB ratings and votes always worked separately. It was possible rating 6.0 with 0 votes as well as rating 0.0 with 1000 votes. With rotten there are also some special cases like here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_with_a_0%25_rating_on_Rotten_Tomatoes But with a movie with rating 0.0 with 1000 votes, it outputs 0 votes. If, on the other hand, the movie has a rating of 0.1 with 1000 votes, then it correctly returns 0.1. Otherwise, a rating 6.0 with 0 votes works. I will try to contact the Team Kodi coder for this. ______ In a few releases in the future it would be may possible do the ratings and votes in MC more "manageable". There are 4 sources that are available and that Kodi can read for movies. In addition, to differentiate between Default rating and extra "DialogVideoInfo" ratings, i call it extra ratings For example, to get all the ratings in the .nfo you have to experiment a bit. In order to get the TMDB ratings into the .nfo (not as a main rating, but as an extra rating) I first had to use TMDB as a main scraper, only then did I get an entry into the extra ratings, and only afterwards did I have to Scrap with IMDB scraper as default over it. - Unification of the function and arrangement of the scrape rating and votes options in "Rescrape Specific" and "Batch Rescraper Wizard" - both, put checkmark division rating votes "rottentomatoes, metacritic, imdb, tmdb" more clearly together. - distinguishing what choosen as main ratings and extraratings, or also want some extra-ratings without scraping it as main rating first. for example i want tmdb ratings only in extraratings but not as main rating. Conversely, also will not get IMDB ratings in the extra ratings until scrape them for the first time as main rating. - For movies that (for inexplicable reasons) still have no registered TMDB ID, will also have bad chances for tmdb ratings, maybe an option also in Batch Rescrape Wizard TMDB ID's that are missing to complete or in the TableView. And... does the only scrape empty fields Batch Rescrape also with all rating and votes? ____ The default rating always includes the extra ratings "default =" true ">". I almost believe that Kodi takes this data as a default rating, and the last, the main rating in .nfo (<rating> 6.4 </ rating> <votes> 217 </ votes>) is just a copy for compatibility for old Kodi versions. Is that possible? ____ It works great! Now I will take back a closer look at (for me annoying topic) movie set management. Great Thanks! RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - MANswers - 2018-09-02 Vbatt, the option to centrally store movie set artwork is working very well for me. I have been able to dump artwork for all my movie sets that are spread across various folders. However I have a request to make, can you include downloading of other artwork such as clearlogo, clearart, discart, landscape as well? Right now the movie sets are downloading only "Movie Collection-Poster" and "Movie Collection-Fanart"... can you include the option to download the other artworks for movie sets in the central folder for these type of artwork also? please? "Movie Collection-clearlogo" "Movie Collection-clearart" "Movie Collection-discart" "Movie Collection-landscape" ![]() RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-09-02 (2018-09-02, 07:07)MANswers Wrote: Vbatt, the option to centrally store movie set artwork is working very well for me.

I will look at adding this to the next release. Possibly with the options to store the artwork in Movie Collection folders within the Central folder. This collection folder within the central folder is something ArtworkBeef is recommending, but not set in stone.

Quote:And... does the only scrape empty fields Batch Rescrape also with all rating and votes? If I recall correctly if TMDb scraper and get IMDb rating, them both TMDB and IMDb get scraped and IMDb is set to Primary( or default = 'True') The other entries in the nfo for Rating and Votes is the value from the default source, and yes is for compatability.
