Hey all,
I have a fresh install of XBMCBuntu and just loaded up the MQ5 skin on Gotham RC1. I've been using AQ5 on my other HTPC, so I'd already downloaded all the fanart for the view I like, and all that. But when I go into those same views on this HTPC, the clearart/posters/logos only show up for a few of my TV shows, not nearly all of them. I can set them manually through the contextual menu, but it'd be a total pain having to go through each kind of art for every show. Running the artwork downloader does NOT help for some reason. When I look at the corresponding folders on my source NAS, all the art is there. What gives!?
Thanks!

Do you have artwork downloader to look for local files first?

Have you tried deleting the textures.db?

It's in the databases folder in userdata.
It will cause XBMC to re cache all of the images it uses.
It will only have an effect of the system you do it on, so don't think it will have any effect of MySQL.

Hi, I have the same similar issue issue and I can't figure out to resolve it. I have windows 8.1/xbmc 13.1 and I scraped all movies with Mediaelch.
My movies (stored in NAS) are NOT organized in folder, so the structure is
<baseFileName>.nfo
<baseFileName>-poster.jpg
<baseFileName>-fanart.jpg
<baseFileName>-logo.png
<baseFileName>-clearart.png
<baseFileName>-disc.png
<baseFileName>-banner.jpg
When I add movie source everything works and plot, poster, fanart are loaded correctly but LOGO, CLEARART and DISC are NOT loaded. WHY??
I'm sure that in artwork downloader the "local files" is checked. I tried to delete textures.db, myvideos78.db and rescan with no luck.
I also tried to change movies structures in folder again with no luck.
If I manually scrape with artwork downloader they appears correctly but I can't do this for all my huge movie database...
Spent hours looking through posts regarding local artwork and I found nothing helpful...can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance!

I am 99% sure you need to have your files in folders to use artwork downloader.

Whatever it is, it's not a skin issue.
Try asking in the artwork downloader thread.

Yeah, go into 'Program addons' and run it from there. Make sure the addon config is correct first though, otherwise you could pull down new art and overwrite your local art. I think the latest version has an option as to which sites to scrape for art. Just turn them all off and make sure 'use local files' is turned on.
