Meligrove.com - Movies and Music Artists FanArt Backdrops

kri kri Wrote:Dumb question, but do I need to download manually all the posters I want? Is there any way to get them within xbmc?

For movies and TV shows, the scraper *should* download posters and fanart automatically. But...because the guys who run moviebackdrops.com merged it with meligrove.com, I'm not sure if the fanart scraper for movies works currently.

Otherwise, yes, the stuff should download automatically in library mode. Select the folder that contains your movies, bring up the context menu, and select "set content". Pick IMDB.com, and tell it to scan automatically.

XBMC should do the rest.

Yup, and if you're that determined to download a pack I'll be putting together a "best of" pack of something like 100 movies backdrops. I have decided to how to poll everyone, maybe I'll run a thread on the forums for it later this week.

Cheers,

The scraper has been updated, but you'll need to grab a fresh one from SVN.

How would I do this for Windows? I am running alpha 4

With the source browser either on xbmc.org/trac or on sourceforge.

http://trac.xbmc.org/browser/branches/li...pers/video

for instance.

I downloaded the two IMDB files, but now they don't show up when I try and select IMDB under 'movies'

You probably didn't download them "untouched", and they've been mangled. Try clicking on them and then going to "download in other formats" down the bottom.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait for a new release, which hopefully should be out within the next week.

Cheers,

No, as far as I know music fanart is not supported. However, with the way this site is improving I would not be surprised to see it in the near future. That is why I suggested adding band logos as well. It would seem logical to do it all at the same time.

You got everything from Moviebackdrops.com, right? If not, I've got all the submissions I did for them in a .rar in one of the other threads here.

That is correct, however know that we are currently in a feature freeze so at the earliest it will be added after Atlantis 'Gold', ...please submit new tickets as separate feature requests on trac to help us keep track those: http://trac.xbmc.org (so we do not forget the ideas about "Music Artists FanArt" and "Music Artists/Band Logos" )
