[Release] Artwork Organizer Script

this a complete re-write of the video fanart splitter script,
with a few extra options added as well.

the addon will copy your music & video fanart and thumbs to separate directories.
skins can use these directories to create a fanart slideshow on the home screen (for instance).

available options:






download: it's available in the addon repo.


let me know if there's any issues :-)

1) system > system > debugging > enable debug logging
2) restart xbmc
3) run the script
4) post your xbmc.log file on pastbin.com on post the link to it here.

you can find the log here:
c:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\xbmc.log

I know this isn't the purpose of this script but...any chance of exporting episode images?

I've changed some episode images to be a little more 'plot-specific' than the generic ones that people race to add to theTVDB (and TVDB sadly don't allow image changes for 'generic-ness'). When I export the Video Database via the Video Settings menu the original TVDB episode thumb is exported and not my personally added image

yes, i think i can add an option for episode thumbs,
but i don't know if that will fix your problem.
chances are the script will copy the tvdb thumb as well.

Thanks Ronie. I like your contributions on the addon site of xbmc. This addon is great. Is it also possible to integrate this in your skin so fanart can be read from the 'Atrwork organizer script' directory. I think this could be a great win because xbmc can access my fanart from my (faster) Solid State Drive.

there's already an option like that:
skin settings > backgrounds
you can select a folder there by clicking the 'multi-image' button.

Ronie, it looks like the update to v1.0 kind of messed up my artwork parsing or something.
I'm not sure but before I didn't have the issue, so I guess I'll post it here first

I'm getting this error in the main menu using MQ3 latest RC update.


I think I've pinned it correctly to the following issue in the log (it doesn't happen all the time, but a couple times throughout the log):
10:26:39 T:17444 INFO: msg: Premature end of JPEG file

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that only work for backgrounds for the main menu?

I'm looking for an option to load the backgrounds for every individual movie I select.

OK! i have paste the logfile. http://pastebin.com/imd6krQN

please have a look
