can you please check this two threads as we are very confusing on the naming convention of the plugin and is creating a lot of issues for users.

I've read this: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:Artwork_Downloader#Naming_conventions

But is not really clear which formats are supported and why only those.

More relevant example is the season naming, what should be supported is
Season 01 (folder name for episodes)
Season 01-banner.jpg
Season 01-poster.jpg
Season 01-fanart.jpg
Season 01-landscape.jpg

WITH the space.

then obviously should work with this too:

Season01 (folder name for episodes)
Season01-banner.jpg
Season01-poster.jpg
Season01-fanart.jpg
Season01-landscape.jpg

or

Season1 (folder name for episodes)
Season1-banner.jpg
Season1-poster.jpg
Season1-fanart.jpg
Season1-landscape.jpg

Can you please help us?

I'm not asking for support of a special scenario, I would just like AD to support the same local files that Frodo supports since we are basically forced to use this addon. You say yourself that it's an easy fix, so why the reluctance? I'm not trying to badger you, I'm just trying to understand.

If I had any idea how to code, I would happily do it. Unless you'd like to explain it to me.

Any response to this Martijn?

Too much changes needed. iirc you can change the name of poster.jpg to poster.png in settings.py file
Should be easy to do yourself if you wish to do so.

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to locate a solution for the problem I have.

I recently had to do a clean install on XBMC and have discovered that Artwork Downloader needs to scan my Movie and TV Show library again, even though all the artwork are present within each individual folder.

Is there a way of avoiding doing this?, as I have a fairly big library and it will take a while.

Many thanks

I believe it should be season1-landscape.jpg, I went through and renamed all my TV Shows - seasonxx-landscape.jpg and they didn't get picked up. Had to go all the way back and rename them seasonx-landscape.jpg...

this is conflicting with what you said.

Martijn can you clarify how it works in reality?

I have a theory (which may be completely inaccurate), that is based upon my usage experience in XBMC.

Once art is set for an item, it won't be re-assigned unless you manually download a new piece of artwork via AD that forces the change. Even then, as all artwork is cached from the remote location to the local xbmc thumbnails folder, and this happens on a pre-defined schedule, simply re-naming existing art won't reflect any changes to the way it's referenced in XBMC. This can be gotten around by removing the offending show from the library and re-scanning it, and any changed artwork will be re-scraped along with the show. Simply doing a DB-update doesn't seem to be enough, at least in my experience.

So if your library was built at a time before the two digit season folder artwork was required, then the chances are this is why is being referenced as such, and also why simply changing the file-name may not work. YMMV, This is just what I've come to regard as the way it works in my experience. It may be way off base, but it's the only answer that makes sense to me. I've had this very issue in the past.

It's been discussed here and and in some skin threads, but there's been a lot of confusion and not a lot of clarity. You're pretty much stuck with needing to do this, due to some changes in Frodo, unfortunately. Make sure that you use the 'Use local files' setting and be patient. I also have a large library and it takes at least 5-6 hours to complete, even though I also have all local artwork too.
