[RELEASE] Artwork Downloader - Skin support

@Black & BigNoid
When using with the GUI dialog the cached version of the artwork will be replaced (hopefully). The skin reset is needed to reload all images so the new one will show up.
In the case of Aeon Nox for example most of the images are directly retrieved from the xbmc (thumbnail)database. This will require me to do some hacking to push those images into it. I haven't got around to that and I will need to make absolutely sure we don't crash the database of users while doing this.

This actually is the same method like Logo-Downloader uses. I copied that part of the code from it (thanks ppic )

Problem still exists when user scraped with XBMC without any local NFO/artwork files present they won't be picked up. That is where the database hacking must come in. Or they will have to use the built-in 'get fanart/set thumbnail' and choose the local stored file.

I don't want to use the gui mode in my skin. I have buttons in settings where you can download e.g. landscape thumbs for the tv guide or extra fanart for all movies / tv shows if enabled. In the video info I have a custom dialog with get thumb / get fanart buttons from XBMC and additionally (if enabled) extra fanart, for tv shows also banner, logo and showthumb. Can't do this with artwork downloader or did I miss something?

So my requests are:

• Don't force the user to configure something if not needed
• Add attributes so skinners can run the script like they could with logo-downloader, i.e. RunScript(script.artwork.downloader,mediatype=tvshow,showthumb=landscape.jpg)
  

First request should be obsolete if the second is implemented because there are no settings needed.

First one is already taken care of

Second one will be implemented. TV next Aired will also need this
Would it be ok if you could use something like this?:

Quote:RunScript(script.artwork.downloader,mode=custom,mediatype=tvshow,showthumb=true)​
or
RunScript(script.artwork.downloader,mode=custom,mediatype=tvshow,showthumb)
with multiple items
RunScript(script.artwork.downloader,mode=custom,mediatype=tvshow,extrafanart,ext​rathumbs)

Only specify the ones you do need.
So without the filename and it will use the standard ones or would you like to specify it your self?

Thanks.

Second & third example is absolutely fine, I think filenames should always be default, keeps things consistent. What would you like to have for tv show next aired?

Think so to about filenames. That way you won't have tons of different file laying around.

Will work on it. Will give you a bump to try it out.

By popular demand:

or
Optional script arg (will only show pop-up on start/finish independent of add-on settings ):

Specify as many artwork types as you like. When available of course.
How to use: see "/resources/dosc/runscript.txt" (forgot to add the silent=true in there)


script.artwork.downloader-Eden(1.0.1)-RC1.zip

Find any bugs let me know.

Thanks, I'll try it as soon as I can.

ronie also updated TV Show Next Aired in combination with this. It's in his SVN

I tested it out on my setup and it should work

clear...

A couple of things. I'm confused as to whether the script fetches logo images (not clearlogo). The readme mentions that it does, however in the runscript.txt at available options it isn't mentioned. I haven't been able to get logo images using:


Also, could the "finished" popup be turned into a notification? I really think it's redundant to have to confirm a successful operation.

Last, is it possible to have the user select the images from the results when more than one is found?
