[Release] Artwork Downloader

Hi Martjin -

Any plans to add season fanart to AD? Right now, I know that TheTVDB does not specifically have season fanart, but a default behavior could be for AD to download the fanart using the season naming convention "seasonXX-fanart" sequentially based on what's available on TheTVDB, ie. first fanart is season01, second is season02, etc. That way, users have a starting point and can always go back and use AD to change the fanart for a specific season on a case-by-case basis. Just some thinking out loud.

D

I need some help for the longest time i have not been able to download any thumbs using the get thumbs button. it will show me some thumbnails and banners but when i choose one it goes back to the info page and the original thumb is removed.

now if i change the fan art the fanart is downloaded (shows the download happen) and it is replaced.

am i doing something wrong?

Out of curiosity I am looking to build a small server to store my videos.

One thing im curious about is xbmc i have set to export all my art to my htpc hard drive, i noticed what artwork downloader does is install to the actual movie folders?

When xbmc exports will it export what album artdownloader finds as well? Or will artwork downloader continue to put it with the actual media files in those folders?

The reason I ask is im worried about lag some people complain artwork takes time to load if its not on the actual pc hard drive.

it will always store it along the media files

option to centralize fanart storage no longer an option?

Nope. It was just an idiotic option IMO and it wasn't really centralized anyway.

i for one liked it, i didnt have to have a second add-on to manage my artwork, i could just have AD dump copies onto a second location where i could point my skins for multi image backdrops of only the movies i currently had in the database. shame it's no longer an option.

Same reason why I used centralised fanart. Too bad it's no longer an option. Is there any other addon that makes it possible to do so?

it's still there but just disabled cause a lot of users didn't got the whole point of it.

if you edit settings.py
and remove line 73

and settings.xml remove the comment <!-- --> code around

it will work

PHP Code:

self.centralize_enable      = False 


and settings.xml remove the comment <!-- --> code around

PHP Code:

<!--
        <setting label="32036" type="bool"      id="centralize_enable"          default="false"/>
        <setting label="32038" type="folder"    id="centralfolder_movies"       default=""      subsetting="true"    
source="auto" option="writeable" enable="eq(-1,true)" visible="eq(-1,true)"/>
        <setting label="32037" type="folder"    id="centralfolder_tvshows"      default=""      subsetting="true"    
source="auto" option="writeable" enable="eq(-2,true)" visible="eq(-2,true)"/>
        <setting type="sep" />
        --> 


it will work

I hope we dosen't have do to this every time the script gets updated?
