As workaround, I just scraped them on the file server directly.

mind sharing how you did that?

I would love to get this going again, even if it is outside xbmc.

::EDIT:: Nevermind, i think you just put xbmc on wherever you store your movies ans scrapped them that way.

I've found two workarounds:

1. Ember Media Manager has an XBMC Stuff plugin which allows you to manually select logos, clearart etc. Not sure if this is still available, since I have maintained my install from before the ember addon service thingy went kaboom.

2. I have also had some success with running a dharma 10.1 install on my windows desktop and running the script from there. What I do is:

Export my library from video options on my HTPC.
Add the smb shares from my media server to my dharma desktop installation. If it asks to refresh the information, select no and it will use the local art/nfo files rather than rescraping everything from the internet, and therefore be much faster.
Run the logo/banner/clearart scripts from within a supported skin (neon has everything for example)
The items are saved correctly to my shares, and are accessible by the htpc

Hope that wasn't too painful to understand, since I probably didn't explain it too clearly.

Thanks for the explanation!

I'm assuming that your dharma install is on a different machine than your main install? I have an extra laptop that I would be able to use, but didn't want to go through the hassle of setting it up if the xbmc install needs to be on the same machine as my media.

Right, it doesn't matter what machine you run it on really, as long as the db is separate and it accesses the same shares.

Any spare machine will do fine, or even a VM would probably work in windowed mode.

Also keep in mind that since each install is using it's own standalone database, adding something to your main XBMC PC will not add new items to your dharma database on your spare laptop. So whenever you want to fire it up to pickup new logos, you will need to run a library update first.

It's not elegant, which is why I am using the Ember plugin instead, but it is a valid workaround if you have no other options.

Where did you find the ember plugin?

since ppic mentioned he won't be able to work on his addons in the near future,
i've made an attempt to get some of his scripts compatible with xbmc pre-eden.

if you're running a nightly build and are willing to help out,
please test: script.logo-downloader-3.0.0.zip

please let me know if you encounter any issues.
(include a debug log if you do)

once the initial bugs are squashed, i'll submit it to the addon repo.

awesome work! Thanks for helping with this Ronie

I cannot get this to run correctly. First under the neon skin, it takes a while for the script to run when I go into a tv show and try to download some artwork. It took so long in fact that I thought it wasn't working, and I went into the skin settings to do a batch download of all logos. That didn't seem to be working either, and I had to leave the room, but when I came back, the dialog window for both actions were open at the same time. I got an error on downloading for both.

The log is very big for some reason, so I broke it into 3 parts:

looks like ronie is taking over the script section Big Grin

I really appreciate all your effort, xbmc wouldn´t be half as pretty and easy to use without your work. Someone should get you a medal.

btt:
Just tested v. 3.0.0 with:
- Transparency! svn-revision: 1120
- XBMCSetup-20110719-1c250ec-master.exe
I hit the "Run Logo Downloader Script"-Button within T!
Looks like there is something wrong with smb-paths:

Code:

08:23:08 T:1616 M:2760699904  NOTICE: problem with path: smb://STORAGE/Serien_D3/Alphas/

result:

debug log

First time i ran it it worked with 4 shows then XBMC froze. Log: http://pastebin.com/VSxiuxmC

After XBMC restart (nothing changed) it ran successfuly! Thanks you! :-)
