I have it fixed in development.. I probably will not be able get an update to XBMC's repo for a little while(my internet is down for an unknown amount of time and my phone does not have quite the power needed Smile )


Still unable to get this going - grumpygamer - 2011-10-31 00:53

Hey there, installed OPENELEC, added sources for my network shares (movies, tv shows and music)
everything works properly, but my music sources wont show up in the configuration.
I just get: "Storage", "Media", "Root filesystem" and "Home folder".
In storage there is a "music" folder but it doesnt seem to be mine because:

A) it dont work
B) Mine has a capital M

There arent any particular errors in the debug log.

22:42:35 T:139873970644736 M:1519722496 ERROR: Previous line repeats 1 times.

That's it.

Not sure how to go about this. Any ideas?
Cheers

Even though you added the music source as a Source in the music section, you will still need to add it as a Source to the file system. To do this you need to open the File Manager(available from the drop down menu on the settings tab on the home page). Then scroll to the add source. After doing this it should be available to the script.

Hi,

some beginner questions (just testet Eden with MQ3, used Dharma with MQ2 before):

I only have a DB for movies and TV Series and use EMM for this, not the inserted scapers of XBMC.
I tried to use them for my music, but I think my mp3 tags are too bad for this.

Therefore I only use folders with folder.jpg

Can I use CDArt Manager to find more grafik-files without having my music organized in a DB?



What filenames are used for all grafik-files?

I think the CD ist cdart.png and the cover is folder.jpg (i still use folder.jpg).

What file names are usually used for the other graphics cdart will find?
(I think the background is Artist.tbn and the ClearLOGOs is logo.png?)

Can you make a list of them?

Thankz.

The script uses XBMC's music library and expects the order of the music to be stored in a specific method:

\Artist\Album\tracks.mp3(flac, wav, m4a, etc..)

The script and fanart.tv also uses MusicBrainz to provide the best accuracy. Using MusicBrainz Picard is very good idea for cleaning up your music(proper tags)

actually the fanart can be named anything, they just need to be in a folder called extrafanart in the artists root

Unfortunately though this is still not working for me...
once I added the source successfully I went and "Built database", and the process started.
But nothing appears on anym menu:
cdarts >> Search artists = blank box
and so on for every other menu item.

I tried "Automatic Download" but that gave me a 0 - 0 popup response.
Something smells fishy... am I still doing something wrong?

Also once every twice the system restarts upon launching the app

No error is thrown, just it dont seem to find anything

I have the same problem. cdarts >> Search artists = blank box

and.....

Sytem: Win 7 SP1
Pre Eden from 30.10.11
Aeon MQ3 from 31.10.11 1.0.0
CDart 2.5.1

First: cdart manager window crashed (i open it the first time after the update to MQ3 1.0.0))

Second: restart the pc. after that my xbmc music database was gone. so i create a new one. CD Art Manager crashed again. now i have deactivate cdart and reactivate it. I started the cdart manager again.
Now i can see a window "creat a database" but for 20 Albums it take 30 Minutes so its very very slow.

now i have deinstall cdart start xbmc again an istall cdart again.
start cdart manager again, window comes up "create database" and now it takes 2 minutes to find 41 Albums.

maybe it can help......

Wenn ich das ganze auf Deutsch erzählen soll bitte melden das kann ich besser Big Grin

I also use \Artist\Artist - Album\tracks.mp3 and \Artist\(YYYY) Album\tracks.mp3 and \Artist\Album (YYYY)\tracks.mp3
and \Artist\Artist - Album (YYYY)\tracks.mp3 or something like this.

Will this work too?

Sorting >50000 MP3s and correcting the ID tags is nearly impossible for me.

Do you think you can modify your script sometime to also scan the music using only directory and file names? Rolleyes
