music scraper question - reddevilmeuk - 2010-11-23

okay, I recently killed my XBMC installation and re-installed using DHARMA RC1. I scraped the music however instead of getting all the fanart etc downloaded i end up getting a default picture of ... wait for it..... boyzone !?!?! now a few things come to mind here...

1. I don't have any boyzone pics!
2. i now have every artist with this picture!

If I try to manually update then i can change, however I dont wanna do it for the hundreds of albums I have!

any thoughts?

my structure is

artist - album\xxxxx

i dont want to use artist\album as i also stream my music to other devices..

think im going mad Nod

you have a fanart.jpg in your music root. wipe it. the library expects a artist/album structure. thus it looks in the deepest common dir of all albums belonging to an artist for the local files - in your case that's the root of your music dir.
