RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Beercade - 2013-12-06

Hello, Newbee here. I hope this is a quick and simple answer; Im wondering where cdart manager pulls Clear art logos from. I ask because I have some obscure artists that didnt have any artwork whatsoever. I added the fanart, artist image and logo to TheAudiodb.com site and all but the logo come through on XBMC.
Thanks, in advance.
Beercade

[EDIT]
I figured out that cdart manager actually pulls clear logos from fanart.tv, so adding them too theaudiodb was a huge waste of time. HOWEVER I have discovered that fanart.tv no longer supports uploading of clearart logos as before! Here was the reply after asking on the forum
"We’ve closed all the SD (standard definition) image sections. Use the HD (high definition) section instead. For music logos it’s called HD Music Logos and is at the top of most lists."

SO my bigger question is will this be addressed in the next update to the script? so it pulls art first from the HD clear art, then if none is found, check the SD art, because the SD logos from before are still there.
Thanks for all your hard work on this script.

I deleted the database files. Unfortunately It didn't help.

I realized that if I change the configuration settings of the CDart Manager addon, these changes are not written into the settings.xml within the userdata/addon_data/script.cdartmanager folder. So I changed the settings driectly within the settings.xml. But it didn't help.

Any ideas what I could try next?

Problem solved!
I had a pathsubstitution for my addon_data folder in the advancedsettings.xml. It seems that this pathsubstitution somehow caused the problem. I deleted the pathsubstitution and now it works fine.

RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Beercade - 2013-12-10

Hello,
Could someone briefly explain the options in the Advanced menu and what these do in the background when you run them; Such as "refresh addon database" and "Update database"
Thanks,
in advance.


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Beercade - 2013-12-11

/ " and other invalid characters cause odd issues. AC/DC is one where when I run CDManager it created a folder called AC and folder in that called DC then in that is the fanart and logo. A bigger issue though is with an artist "Brother" Jack McDuff https://musicbrainz.org/artist/e0cd33e5-f664-4a21-b7eb-f0b07dd2c1d0
I dont get any artwork for this artist even though there is fanart.tv logos. Im guessing it can not create the folder because of the invalid character. Any work around ideas?
Thanks

The method the script actually uses is that it requests both the SD and the HD logos from fanart.tv. The script then shows first the SD and then the HD. The dimensions of the images are displayed so the user can distinguish between SD and HD. fanart.tv still provides the existing SD images until the HD images are available.

Refresh Addon Database - try to delete the database(works on all OSes but Windows) if it can't be deleted, it dumps everything out of it. - Useful if you wipe out XBMC's Music Library.

Update Addon Database - check for matches, then remove/change the differences between XBMC's Library and the addon's database.. Use this when new music is added to XBMC

The AC/DC instance is well documented in this forum and the reason why this is. The other one is caused by the use of the "(double quote). There is a file safe version, not sure what it is but all my "Weird Al" Yankovich show up properly. You may have to check to see that the script pulled the same MBID during it's search. To do so, use the Modify Database functions(Change Artist MBID).

If XBMC would make the handling of Music artwork the same as Video artwork there wouldn't be any problems. I was hoping that this would have happened for the next release(Gotham) but it doesn't seem like it..

No error, I can not install from the add-on repo, it says "incompattible" on the right side.

Hello,

I upgraded to a new Gotham build and try to run cdART manager for the first time, however after reading in the albums it hangs the system when retrieving the album details. I looked in the log and found the following, hopefully someone can help:

What kind of error are you getting??

No error, I can not install from the add-on repo, it says "incompattible" on the right side.

I'm having the same problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

[RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - ktjensen - 2013-12-17

Installed the addon went fine. On my win7 PC. But then started it and immediately locked up. Maybe there are DEPENDANCIES that are broken in this software ? Or is it required that I set a specific pathway in the settings? Usually I do not touch settings as the default should work. Had to stop XBMC and uninstall the addon.

RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - xymotic - 2013-12-18

I'm having a real hard time building the initial database It's taking 10-15 seconds for each and every album

I've tried a number of different settings focusing mostly on trying to disable internet lookups to musicbrains because really I just want to see what's missing in the local library first

running 12.2 on windows 7 in portable mode

Log: http://pastebin.com/1QzFG30U

I've even tried turnng off my network thinking it would force it to just zip through locally but that didn;t work either It just wants to hang for a long timeout in between each and every lookup


Any help greatly appreciated
