RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - gibxxi - 2015-09-11 (2015-09-10, 20:00)Powerhouse Wrote: Ok, so the original cdART Manager no longer works, but the updated one from stef.an does (I'm on Kodi 15.1, and see his repository lists it as Helix+ compatible)? Not familiar with MediaElch, does it download CD artwork (cdart.png) files? If not then there's one thing that cdART Manager does that you'll want to retain it for. cdART Manager has been around for quite a long time, so a lot of skins are already set up to make use of it if it's installed. To take advantage of that integration with another program / utility, said program has to create filenames / paths with exactly the same structure as cdART Manager would do, otherwise your going to need to rename a lot of files or manually point your selected skin to resources you have downloaded. Most of the 3rd party media managers I've seen/used tend to bias Movies and TV. Music is a bit of a poor relation in comparison. I guess this is 'most' people's main area of focus for their media center. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - jiquem - 2015-09-13 Hello, Unfortunately, I have the following error with the stef.an version. Any idea about what to do ?

Yep, MediaElch does indeed download cdart.png files, and multiple fanart files if they are available. Also MediaElch grabs the MusicBrainz info for the Artists, and their CD's, so it integrates well within Kodi. The problem I'm seeing with Skin integration of cdART Manager, is they are using the old non-working version, so when you run it, it just sits there (sometimes for hours) not doing anything, but you never know that. Which why I ended up in this thread to see what's going on.

The solution here would be to do what I did. Download and install stef.an's version, and manually extract it to your addons folder, then rename the addon folder itself to be exactly the same wording as the old one. Anything that references the addon by it's folder name will then work. With regards artwork, you just point your skin of choice to either your music library folder, or the separate, 'extended artwork' folder selected via cdART Manager's 'Path to Music Library' setting. This is one of a few places in the addon that are worded badly IMHO. The 'Path to Music Library' setting/folder doesn't actually mean that at all. It's simply a folder where you wish to place any artwork downloaded by cdART Manager that is NOT either a folder.jpg or a cdart.png file. I like to keep my music folders clean as they are referenced by other programs, so I store the extended artwork in a seperate folder well away from the music. It's this folder I then specify in my skin of choice, for artwork. folder.jpgs and cdart.pngs ALWAYS reside with the music for obvious reasons, and this cannot be changed. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - jiquem - 2015-10-01 Is the stefan version working on isengard ?

Working fine on Isengard here ] cdART Manager Script & MB - Greg. - 2015-10-07 what hv i missed? run musicbrain on some 26000 songs. great prog that tho i barely understand thinking it just organises metadata, i decided to run cdart, both the repo and git vers regardless of config, had most success with git, but it does nothing but flash a dialog 2 fast to read! BUT seems redundant, appears mbrn scraped artist fanart anyway. any1? RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Cinder - 2015-10-10 Still doesn't work on Isengard for me, using stefan's version. Nothing happens when clicking/selecting "Automatic Download" for any of the art. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - meowmoo - 2015-10-10 Works fine here on isengard, you can try to delete the cdart settings folder in user data/cdartmanager. Make a backup just in case RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Cinder - 2015-10-11 (2015-10-10, 17:23)meowmoo Wrote: Works fine here on isengard, you can try to delete the cdart settings folder in user data/cdartmanager. Yeah, seems to work for me on Isengard as well now, nice. Now I just want a "Collect All Art" button so I don't have to go through each type of art individually. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - gibxxi - 2015-10-12 (2015-10-07, 06:29)Greg. Wrote: what hv i missed? From experience, MusicBrainz is not only limited in the sites it will download art from (and I don't think fanart.tv is on that list) the naming of the artwork file naming will not be consistent with what Kodi expects to see. Also, you won't get artist thumbnails / banners etc, by default. cdART Manager gets most of it's artwork from fanart.tv, where only high-quality artwork is allowed. It won't modify your music tags, which means no artwork embedding in tags, but your folder.jpg files, and cdart.png files will be a lot higher quality for those artists matched, than anything MusicBrainz will provide via Picard. If your getting a flash dialog that disappears quickly, this suggests to me that you either have no cdART Manager database (you need to create one), it's empty, or none of your artists have been matched. Go through the menu system to a manual search for an artwork type. You ought to see a list of artists. If none of yours are green at all, it's not matching your artists for some reason. Try either a 'refresh add-on database' or an 'Update' to ensure the cdART Manager database has been created correctly and has been populated. <cdART-Manager> -> <Advanced> -> <Update / Refresh add-on database> I'd also suggest making sure your music library is up to date first, as cdART database building can take a while. RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - stef.an - 2015-10-23 Just want to report back that I'm still alive... Mission "make a Skydiving A-Grade license this summer": accomplished ...and as it's getting darker and colder over here I'm sure I'll find some time to spend on the script soon. For me everything is working on Isengard, I didn't change anything since then. I'm unsure if I should focus on stability first or prepare for a complete rework. So what's the most important thing you are missing? - make it more stable (drop some features if neccesary, e.g. JSON-Api) - make it more stable (but do not drop features!) - make it faster! - create a "do it all at once" button - create a service so I can continue using Kodi while te data is collected RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - martinconroy - 2015-10-23 Definitely a "Do it all at once" button please RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - martinconroy - 2015-10-23 Oh, and congratulations on the licence |
