Anyone know a good program to create cdArt in png format? I've downloaded all available files from fanart.tv, but there are quite a few that are not there. I don't mind the work and I will upload my creations.

GIMP (free) or Photoshop.
You can get templates and tutorial on fanart.tv
Thx

you can always request cdarts on fanart.tv as well and your own creations are more than welcome

Will Frodo or AD have an update to fix this anytime?

So how do you go about scraping clearart, logo, disc, banner art?

Nevermind, thanks guys I figured it out....

Well done - when you set it up correctly it does work - when you figured it out I bet you said 'so simple' - I know I did
Glad you got it sorted

Hi there,

I'd appreciate help explaining what could possibly be wrong in my configuration:

1) Local cd art files as "movie name-discart.png" present within each movie folder
2) Configuration of AD set to use local files
3) Using XBMC Frodo 12.1 and AD 12.0.15

My local cdart is not been recognised by AD at all. I don't have an option for selecting specific local art, except if AD previously downloaded cdart works or other kind of artworks for a particular movie. Only then it shows the option to use local source for that particular type of artwork.

I rely hugely on local files because there is one set-up of XBMC I have here that do not connect to internet.

Thanks! CF

disc art needs to be named disc.png in movie folder
logos - logo.png
clearart - clearart.png
banner - banner.jpg
cover - poster.jpg
fanart - fanart.jpg
make sure relevant boxes are checked in AD ( if you want to have AD d/load all upcoming artwork as well)
using local files box is checked it will look for artwork in folder before scrapping it.

Dear leepeny,

Thank you very much for your concise explanation that allowed me to fix the issue with the artwork. It was just a wrong naming issue.

It is curious however that the option for browsing and selecting specific types of artwork, stored somewhere else within our local sources, is unveiled only and once a file of that type of artwork has been placed in the movie directory. I wouldn't have found it without your help really.

Best, CF

glad to help

Yes, little confusing : disc art need to be named disc.png for being recognized by Artwor Downloader but when you will export your library in separated files, XBMC will create MovieName-discart.png file

I think that XBMC 13 Gotham will fix this behaviour.
