Problem with artwork over FTP! [Fixed] - livar95 - 2015-05-29

Whenever I scan my movies or TV-shows from my FTP server to the Kodi library using local content, the only artwork that gets fetched is the movie posters(works fine using SMB).

I have read in some threads that this is by design, and that you can add some lines to the advancedsettings.xml file to enable fetching of fanart and episode thumbs over FTP.
Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <ftp>
        <remotefanart>true</remotefanart>
        <remotethumbs>true</remotethumbs>
    </ftp>
</advancedsettings>

This seemed to work for the OP. But, either I'm doing something wrong or this does not work anymore.

If anyone has this working, or knows hot to get it working I would really appreciate the help! Thx.

For anyone that finds this thread later! I was doing something wrong. I changed the structure of the lines(see below), and now it is working.
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<ftp>
<remotethumbs>true</remotethumbs>
</ftp>
</advancedsettings>
