[RELEASE] cdART Manager Script

Skins that support cdARTs usually have a generic cdart in their /media folder, though most have the artwork stored in Textures.xbt. Also the following threat -> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=53242 might have a generic cdART image. It is 44 pages long, though it also is the first cdART thread as well...

Please help me out giftie, this is driving me nuts!
In library mode, I cannot get the artist thumbs to show up. On top of this, the fanart refuses to show up. It is selected in the viewtype settings within the page (Aeon Nox 3.0) and is present in the relevant folders.
Any advice please sir...?

Wait a little bit.. Testing the next release, which will add the thumbnails to XBMC's Thumbnails directory. Which should solve your issue.

"Invalid or Deleted File"

The latest version is on the Official repo(available from the Addons tab in XBMC)

Please don´t get me wrong. I´m sure you are extremely busy these days and I think
we all are more than greatful for your fantastic addon that saves us all so much time
and makes xbmc look so pretty.
But I´m a little puzzled about this new version you are mentioning.
The first post here is referring to v2.6.3.
On the official repo is v2.6.5. the newest (11 days old) which seems to be the same
version as in your github page

Please take your time, just a friendly reminder

2.6.3 was the last test version. 2.6.4 and 2.6.5 both were sent to the official repo(2.6.4 had an error that quickly got fixed) I Don't always update GitHub with every change I do during testing, though I do locally.

There is now a new test version..

New test version(heh heh...) https://github.com/downloads/Giftie/scri....2.6.6.zip

What's new and great?

I just tested v2.6.6.

Is the new feature
"Update XBMC Thumbnails and Fanarts"
supposed to close cdART Manager when selected?

And it looks like something tries to delete fanart.tv´s database

Quote:ERROR: XFILE::CFile::Delete - Error deleting file http://fanart.tv/fanart/music/eace2373-3...763460.jpg

Here is a pretty big log of me updating the database, running every automatic button and trying to update xbmc´s thumbnails at the end
xbmc log

I also tried to create missing.txt on the smb-share where my music is stored...resulted in a xbmc freeze.
Locally it works just fine. Maybe someone else can test this to make sure i´m not doing it wrong

Don't know if this is XBMC or cdArt related, i guess cdart... but my xbmc log is spammed with messages like this:

09:13:49 T:140389691021056 NOTICE: Thread CFileCache start, auto delete: false
09:13:54 T:140389461784320 ERROR: Texture manager unable to load file: /media/datastore1/Music/Discography/Enej/Enej - 2008 - Ulice/cdart.png

those cdart.png images don't exist and i cant get them there

Obviously, I am doing something wrong or missing something. Can anybody point me to the right direction?

I'm having a problem, but it might be caused by my large collection (one SMB share, album count: 10673).

I rebuild the database (deleting existing DB) and it goes through all it's scans. About 6 1/2 hours later it gets to the "Sorting Artists" progress box, scans a handfull of them, and then the screen goes black. The PC isn't unresponsive, I can still alt-tab out and hitting the power button shuts down properly, but since it's stuck in the CDart screen I can't do anything else in XBMC.

This has happened on 2.6.5 and the previous official repo. This did not happen on the repo before that (don't know the number, but any version without the MB and fanart.tv logos in the upper left worked fine).

Is this normal behavior for large collections? Is it still compiling artists in the background?

My log as I was leaving the house: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7AD8nJ...WhJbTc1RXc , screen is still black and the kids are getting impatient

That's just the script trying to delete an online artwork, since that what the database has as the path to the artwork(album cover in this instance) This is the script trying to keep the path with the best artwork. the script still replaces the actual thumbnail(that is stored in the userdata\Thumbnails\Music)

I should have thought someone might have wanted to save onto a SMB directory(and Eden) Will fix..

Yep, not an error with the script... It's the skin looking for the cdart, but XBMC can not find it(ie doesn't exist)

Why can you get them there? I see none exist on fanart.tv, so the best job to get them there is to create and submit them to fanart.tv.
