I've fixed the endless loop(when canceled is pressed) But the bug regarding the path is inside XBMC. I have posted a ticket on Trac.

Is there a way to set the music path to my library which is a samba network location?

add a samba share as a source in XBMC File Manager. Then this will become available to add-ons/skins

I heard of someone who uses a batch script to create many cd arts at once by using the id3-tag and just kind of "cutting out" a cd art. Do you have any idea how this might work or if there are any other means of batch scripting cd arts?

The only way I can see an 'automated' method to creating cdARTs is if you control the creation of the artwork file(scan all the labels in the exact same location on the scanner) But even still, the CDs vary in design and label methods(some have labels that go right to the centre hub, where others do not)
I know we are quite picky on accepting labels on Fanart.tv(heck even mine get rejected, we want the best what can I say
) So I'm doubtful that there is an automated batch script(though I can be wrong)

There is some script for GIMP. I tried it but you are better of following the tutorial on the site

Any idea on what i do wrong?

A complete debug log of when you try to access the manual download section and trying to open the artist 120 days would be helpful.

It was probably just a bit slow. It works now.
But does this scrips use artist pictures too? or is it just for the albums? what should i use for the artists?

Artist images are handled by the Music Scrapers(part of XBMC)

Just installed the script, since music art-work is a big lack in XBMC at the moment IMHO, and i'm already impressed by the options and possibilities this script is offering
So TRHANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HARD WORK !!!Now 2 questions.
1:
The script is now building it's initial addon database. I have a small part of my collection in my music library around 1000 cd's. This is stored on a NAS system in my LAN.
So far the script only scanned and identified around 50 cd's in the last hour. Does that mean it will need 20 hours to build it's database? and does it need to re-scan every time i want it to update ??
2:
In the settings i at "library location" i pointed the script to a folder only containing 5 cd's, so i could quickly test without waiting for the complete database to build. However the script seems to ignore this location and still build its database according to the library as loaded into xbmc ??
Cheers,

I have change this for the next release(hope to get it out soon)
