You must launch the add-on each time you add new videos. After the first run it only takes a few seconds.

The Confluence Modified skin includes an option to run AD after a library scan.

Get your own thread and remove your post. This is way off topic.

Are you looking to just add some artwork or do a full scan (logo, poster, extra fanart, ect) or just change or add a piece to an existing show?
If you are looking to do the latter some skins support adding artwork from the info menu (Aeon Nox does).
Hope that helps!

Off topic?, scuse me?, its job is to convert dir. structure in prep for AD?, can't think of a more appropriate forum actually.
its free, not like im hijacking ur forum to hawk it. You have obviously not paid it any heed, or you would include with AD!
RE: [Release] Artwork Downloader - Metallifux - 2013-05-09
Hi I have an issue with AD. I'm using the Transparency skin and running AD dl's extra fan art no problem. But it point blank refuses to dl logos and clearart even though they are selected by default. Any idea why it is doing this?
RE: [Release] Artwork Downloader - cw-kid - 2013-05-09
Hi
When using Artwork Downloader if I run Solo Mode on a new movie I added in to the library, it does not download a fanart.jpg image. However if on the same movie I select Gui Mode I am able to then select Fanart and pick one for download.
Should it download a fanart.jpg with Solo Mode?
When I use Solo Mode, it downloads the following OK if available:
poster.jpg
logo.png
landscape.jpg
clearart.png
banner.jpg
extrathumbs
extrafanart
Just not fanart.jpg for some reason ?
Thanks

no
Any chance we will see this in the future? I prepare all my movies and shows with MediaElch and have the logo.png clearart.png etc. in the movie folder. Would be nice if thats enough to enjoy xbmc + AD
RE: [Release] Artwork Downloader - voip-ninja - 2013-05-10
Guys, a simple search of this thread would explain the reasons for this. Servers that provide artwork are not equipped to handle the massive amount of traffic that automatic scans/downloads would create.
So, unless you guys are ready to get your checkbooks out and make sizable donations for their bandwidth and server costs, leave it alone. Your "good intentions" could result in popular art hosting sites being shut down, or shutting off access to XBMC scrapers.
RE: [Release] Artwork Downloader - jolt - 2013-05-11
If AD would at least check for local files when a new movie is scanned into the library there would be no additional traffic at all.
And to be honest I don't quiet get it. Are you saying that if xbmc/AD automaticly downloads the artwork for a new movie there would be to much traffic, but if I manually download it there wouldn't? As I see it the only reason why more traffic would be generated is that more people would use artwork on more movies. But it is kinda sad to develop such a nice extension and community around it and then try to deter people from fully using it for traffic reasons.

let me give you my bank account number if you think it doesn't matter at all so you can donate the server costs
if you think you can do it better don't let me stop you!
some people run their library update 10 times a day. do i need to explain it some more ..............
RE: [Release] Artwork Downloader - jolt - 2013-05-11
I probably underestimate the traffic. By updating the library, a querry is send to fanart.tv etc. and only if there is new stuff available it is being downloaded,right? So basically the massive amount of querries generates traffic?
But still, checking for local files doesn't cause any additional traffic, right?! I'm aware that most people don't store artwork local, but for those who do that would be a great improvement.
