I know that it was working just fine, but now that I've reinstalled everything it tells me "0 Artwork Downloaded" after I attempt to download anything. I try artists that I know there is artwork on fanart.tv, and it tells me that there is nothing on fanart.tv.

Any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong here please? I've tried rebuilding the database several times, but still not working.

I did all the arts and named them and put them in the right places. Most came up in XBMC automatically which is great.

For those that didn't I noticed that if you right click the blank thumb it brings up a menu, one of which is "Artist Information" and in here you can browse to the art files. This is great, so I manually assigned those that didn't show up automatically.

However I've run into two odd problems.

For the Artists "Sublime" & "Mr. Big" which show no artist thumb and no fan art (even though I created them, named and placed them correctly). When I click on "Artist Information" it says "Search for Artist" then after awhile it comes up with an on screen keyboard. And no matter what I put in it never works, so I can't get to the part to assign them their art manually?

Whats going on? These are literally the last two before I'm completely finished.

Thanks in advance.
That seems like a music scraper issue, since it's asking for user entry. Try changing your music scraper for Artist info and try to manually refresh those two.

Quote:EDIT: I also just noticed that the cdart for the Mr. Big albums which I manually added from fanart.tv are not working, its just the default cd spinning. How do you manually set cdart?

make sure that the cdArts are in the track level of the album and labeled as 'cdart.png' all lower case.

Ok so change the scraper and try to manually assign them again? What is the best scraper? I think I use the default "Allmusic"

Its odd though cause I searched Sublime and Mr. Big on Allmusics website and they are there.

Yeah I've got the cdart in the right places and named correctly. This isn't really a biggy but would be nice.

Ok, here's the log I get when trying to download CDart.

Hope it helps, I loved this script when it was working fine before.


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Stildawn - 2012-05-31

Thanks Giftie, did what you said and its all good now.

Thanks heaps for your help, I couldn't have done it without you. The new HTPC is now in the lounge all connected up and running perfect, and a large part of that is from your extensive help and patience.

Thanks again, greatly appreciated.

I think you might have built your database library after MusicBrainz changed their format. I caught this last night, I'll have a version up for testings shortly.




RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - giftie - 2012-06-01

I think this is the last test version. There are a couple of fixes due to MusicBrainz changing their output(shouldn't happen again) amd the cdart image backup should also be fixed.

https://github.com/downloads/Giftie/script.cdartmanager/script.cdartmanager.2.6.2.zip

Also, for those that have a problem with finding matches, set the 'Enable MusicBrainz ID Update During Addon Database Update' to on. Then run Advanced->Modify Local Database->Update Database. This should find the missing Musicbrainz ID's



RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - Stildawn - 2012-06-01

Do I need to uninstall to reinstall the update?


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - giftie - 2012-06-01

No you just need to 'Install from Zip', XBMC will take care of the removal.



RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - filthycatbox - 2012-06-01

Awesome! Thanks a lot giftie. I have my favourite add-on working again! Smile


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - filthycatbox - 2012-06-02

Well, I spoke too soon...
It downloaded all the art just fine and I can see it all in their respective folders, but it doesn't show up when browsing for since reason.

Which artwork, which skin? cdART Manager only deals with downloading.


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - filthycatbox - 2012-06-02

Well, I'm using Aeon Nox but even if I move back to Confluence I still have the same issue.
The Artist.jpg thumbs are there as well as the logo.png, but they dont show up when browsing.

Fanart does work, but there are now folders which your script seems to have created which dont relate to any music present. For example, I have a folder with logo and artist thumb now named "Jonny Cash" despite not having any Johnny Cash in my music library.


RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - giftie - 2012-06-02

Do you have the 'Path to Music Library' set in Aeon Nox's settings? All my logos show up correctly.

The Artist image is another issue. Could you try to update your XBMC's Music Library and see if it will pick up the artist.jpg file. If it does not, you will have to manually update it(ie Get Thumb)

Did you do an autodownload for fanart using the Album Artists or the All Artists option?



RE: [RELEASE] cdART Manager Script - filthycatbox - 2012-06-02

Path is set correctly.
I'm not going to set thumbs manually though, I have over a thousand albums on there.
I did automaticly download all artists rather than album artists.
I guess I could batch rename all artist jpgs to folder.jpg if they don't show up.

No problem, I have added an option in settings to do it for you

Quote:I did automaticly download all artists rather than album artists.
This will download the artists that are available on the song level of the music. This is why the folder(s) are created.

That would replace your cover arts.

I keep doing this...

Another test version is now available. I do think this one is the last.. Smile

https://github.com/downloads/Giftie/script.cdartmanager/script.cdartmanager.2.6.3.zip

The biggest change is that the script will replace the thumbnail/fanart that XBMC has stored in the it's database.

Code:
2.6.3
- Add Overwrite thumbnail/fanart which path is supplied by XBMC during download
- Add Overwrite thumbnail/fanart which path is supplied by XBMC via settings screen
- Changed images to use preview images on fanart.tv
