With regard to the artwork, this might be an issue with the way the v2.0 API works. Only the artwork with the specified language is ever retrieved, rather than all of it.
In fact, the scraper deliberately fetches artwork in your default language and in English to try and combat this a little. (I should probably add the new Fallback Language option into that mix as well...)
Speed is also a v2.0 API issue - rather than request a single zip file with everything in it in one go, the scraper now has to request page after page after page after page... Slows everything down.
Thanks for checking this out.
I take it you're "the one" or one of the code master in command of this piece. Nice work, i genuinely mean that. The idea of not having to go through all that trouble with metadata info to have it looking good is just a blessing.
Your explanations are coherent regarding the artwork "missing" and the "slowness" of updating. I did stop seeing quite a bit of French and Russian stuff in the "Posters" artwork. Not that it matters much, i only came up with those examples.
Keep up the excellent work. I'm loving Kodi and the community!
