You need to first update XBMC's library, then update the script's database.

Scheduler is running correctly, thanks for the great addon. I was just digging around my logs and found this:

Is that something I am going to have to do often manually. I have not even seen that feature before, is this new?

I like to set this up in the scheduler, and it was not downloading anything, i dont have much time and like the hands free approach done by the scheduler, so can this be added in the automation or should I not have to refresh fanart.tv? THe addon has so many working parts in it it can be overwhelming even after months to keep it working, it would be nice if we could just have one button, and one script in the scheduler to update the library, refresh fanart.tv (unless this is not usually needed), and download all the art.

Just a suggestion.

If you use a mouse with XBMC, moving it when cdART is loaded will cause the mouse pointer to take focus as a pose to cdART. cdART is keyboard focused (arrow keys). Try moving your mouse pointer over one of the on-screen menus for cdART, once that menu becomes highlighted (blue) then use your arrow keys to navigate.

If the script just keeps running fine, it's not a problem. I have put extra error logging through out. The 'error' you are seeing is just when the script tries to update user edits, if you haven't made any this will pop up.

That was correct and can navigate now..but I can't figure out how to actually make my images show. CD Art found only 1 of my artists albums..and it downloaded files for it..but XBMC doesn't show them... Is there a guide for this..I am so lost lol.

All I did was add source, to my music (maybe my music is improperly named or tagged...can't find a site showing how to name properly like I do with movies)..then I scanned, and they show up with no art..went to CD Art manager and downloaded...it downloaded art for one of my three albums only..but even that one art is not showing in library mode..

So lost :)


Only way I can get it to work is if I download the art, then manually move the art I want to the folders and rename them (fanart, cover, etc)

Cool cool. Everything seems to be working. Thanks!

Probably incorrect tagging info. Also, it will download the artwork to the directory you specify. I'm willing to bet you don't have the directory set to save in your music library.

The Scheduler can't stop XBMC from sleeping. Though it can initiate it. The problem error is probaby caused by a corrupt database.

Refreshing fanart tv data happens when you update cdART Manager and 3 days have pasted since the last fanart tv data has been updated.

I guess I could wait until monday to check I have the scheduler, scheduled to run cdart, do you know if cdart is scanning updating/running will xbmc sleep?

Im just worried I am going to schedule a cdart update and it will be running and my pc will go to sleep since it takes quite awhile to update and if the pc sleeps it will lead to a corrupt database. Although I would assume if cdart is running and doing a database update xbmc should not sleep since its doing something?

Just trying to understand this.

I´m pretty new to XBMC itself and also to cdArt Manager.
As XBMC could be configured to use a central database as MySQL I have been trying to get the cdArt Manager centralized also. But unfortunately it won´t work as I expected / hoped.

Configuration:
- Windows 8 with MySQL and shareware with the structure:
Interpret\AIbum\Artist-Album-Title.mp3
Tagged using Jaikoz with automized generating the folder structure
XBMC installed with cdArt Manager and rerun multiple times to build the databases
==> everything works fine locally


- Windows 8 client with XBMC installed to listen to music
listening works and some Covers and Fanarts are displayed, but the cdArt itself is missing

- Android 4 on a Smart-PC client with XBMC installed to listen to music
listening works and some Covers and Fanarts are displayed, but the cdArt itself is missing

Now the question is:
- Do I have to install and rebuild on each client the cdArt Manager database locally?
- Is there a way to centralize the cdArt Manager DB?

Many thanks for suggestions!

Regards
chris

1. Add source(s) to XBMC
   
2. Scan Source(s) into XBMC's Library
   
3. Open cdART Manager's settings and set the paths correctly and adjust any settings you want
   
4. Once scanning is complete, Run cdART Manager - if first use the script will create a database, otherwise you need to select it from Advanced, Modify Addon Database, Build Database
   
5. Once database creation is finished(can take a fair bit of time max time of 15 sec per album)
   
6. Now you can manually trigger automatic downloads for each of the art types
   
7. After the downloading is complete you need to Update XBMC's Music Library.
