I recently noticed my extrafanart was not showing, and with a bit of reading found that extrafanart folders are passé.  I think the same must be true for extrathumbs.  I wrote a bash script that does the following:

1. Iterate through all the movie folders that contain an extrafanart folder.
   
2. Go into extrafanart/
   
3. Delete fanart.<ext> if it exists (for me this is a duplicate of fanart.ext in the parent folder).
   
4. Rename all the image files (jpg, jpeg, png) as fanart1, fanart2, etc, retaining the original file extension.  It is set to sort images by size on the assumption larger is better.  So fanart1 is the largest file and the last one is the smallest.
   
5. Move all the files from extrafanart to its parent folder.
   
6. Do approximately the same with the extrathumbs folder, if there is one.
   
7. Delete the extrafanart and extrathumbs folders.
   

It requires a setup with each movie in a separate folder.  It reports on the terminal which folders it is acting in.  It's best if you know something about scripts before using it.  There are some safety mechanisms built in, but I suggest copying several movies to a test directory and try it on that first.  I've used it on macOS and FreeBSD with no problems, so it might do well on other unixes too. 

1. Paste the code into a raw text file.
   
2. Adjust the shebang at the top to point to your bash (find it with command 'which bash').
   
3. Change the variable 'movie_folder' on line 5 to the path to your TEST MOVIES.  If you have spaces in the path, you'll need to put it in quotes and give the full path (no '~')
   
4. Save it.  I call mine fanart.sh
   
5. Make it executable: 'chmod +x fanart.sh'
   
6. Run it on your test directory.  If all goes well you can change 'movies_folder' to the real one.
   

bash:
#!/bin/bash            # for my Mac



# movie_folder=~/Media/Movies          # for my Mac

# movie_folder=/mnt/Ark/Media/Movies   # for my FreeNAS

movie_folder=~/Media/Movies



for dir in "$movie_folder"/*/extrafanart

do

   echo $dir

   cd "$dir"

   

# First remove fanart.ext.  

# For me, if it exists, it's a duplicate of one in parent folder

   rm -f fanart.jpg

   rm -f fanart.jpeg

   rm -f fanart.png



# Now the extrafanart.  This is where the magic happens:

# ls -1pS 1 makes one entry per line, p puts slash after directory names, S sorts by size

# egrep makes sure we're just going to do images, for safety

# cat -n numbers output lines

# while read reads each line, splitting into words, so n is the number, f the filename

# mv -n prevents overwriting

   ls -1pS | egrep "(jpg|jpeg|png)$" | cat -n | while read n f; do mv -n "${f}" "../fanart$n.${f#*.}"; done

   cd ..



# Same for extrathumbs if exists, but don't need to rename

   if [ -d extrathumbs ]; then

      cd extrathumbs

      ls | egrep "(jpg|jpeg|png)$" | cat -n | while read n f; do mv -n "${f}" "../${f}"; done

      cd ..

   fi



   rm -Rf extrafanart/

   rm -Rf extrathumbs/

Thanks for this script, used it to rename and move all of my extra fanart and thumbs for all of my movies and tv shows. Worked perfectly.
