Win How to change fan artwork for musics which are downloaded by xbmc?
#1
Hi there, I am new user of XBMC , everything was going cool but xbmc downloaded some music artworks that i dont like Sad i tried to find the images in Windows Explorer but could not find anything. and some music artworks are missing too though they have proper details... so, my question is how do i find music fan artwork images and delete or replace them with images of my own choice Smile

Here is full detail how my folders are..

1. XBMC is installed in E drive
2. all my musics are in D:\Musics\ (there is no sub folder for artists, all my songs are in this folder)
3. windows 8 is installed in C drive ( dont know if that matters)
4. latest xbmc is being used

I am not a geek Smile any help is appreciated .. Smile Thank YOU

You could try the following:

In XBMC go to the song
Press the letter 'i' to bring up the 'information display'
Click on 'Album info'
Click on 'Refresh'
Click on 'Get thumb' and see if there is an album thumbnail there that you like and select that one.

You should be able to go into music -- artist view. Scroll to the artist in question. Right click or keyboard c to get the context menu. In the context menu select "artist info". A new screen pops up with the artist details. There are options there to select thumb and fanart. When you select fanart it will show you any art that the scraper found (takes a while because it must be downloaded) and you can select any of these, or browse your system for a local file to use. Note that the actual art that gets shown is saved to a "thumbnail" file in your userdata. You can browse the thumbnail folder to check it out if you want. There's a problem though if your scraper can't find an artist you don't get the info screen to set your own art. Don't forget to check your scraper settings as there may be options for sites to search for art. There's also a cdart addon that can find art for you.
