Why it's not like for cdart and it save each clearLogos in each folder of artist?

XBMC does not provide a path to the Artist level of the music path. It really only provides the track path. A lot of skins use the same method to calculate this path as the script does(I actually fashioned it after Transparency!'s method). This did provide the this artwork(fanart and clearLogos) to be able to be moved to a different path, away from the actual music path.

If you want to translate, I'd be more than happy to include it. If you do, please translate from the script.cdartmanager\resources\language\English\strings.xml file as this is the main language strings.

I look forward to Frodo, when an online system for translating is implemented...

Hi,

Getting the following error when trying to run the add on...


Running this set up...


Can you advise why the script is failing?

I will help you, no problem and I will MP you to send the translate, or you want another way to get the new translate file?

I have the same error than simpic...

Have you built your music library in XBMC?

and a debug log would be needed to figure out the error.

I thought you were already running the script, only having a problem with clearLOGOs. simpic is having a problem when the script is first run(when it builds the addon's database)

HI,

Re scanned the library and it is now running through all the item in the music folders.

It does seem to be having issues connecting to MusicBrainz...

Giftie is there anyway to backup the cdartmanager's database ( not the cdarts or fanarts etc ) . I have recently had to reinstall XBMC from scratch ( 2-3 times)and frankly having to buildup database for 2000 albums is really a PITA. Is there any way that I could just backup the db file and just replace that incase of reinstalling.( Could it be that I just go into the userdata/addon database/ cdartmanager & see if there is a db file copy that and replace in case of a reinstall?) BTW I tried searching in the thread & in google but could find any related posts. I am on Winders7x64 with eden 11& AeonNox. Thanks

That should do it unless there was a program update which needs a newer db. Your music also needs to be in the exact same way stored in your rebuild xbmc database

Thanks Martijn,
Could a similar option to backup data ( esp if no changes in music library structure ) be incorporated & for importing in case of a reinstall ? if that's not too much that is ..might just help ppl. who find themselves reinstalling to have such option in the GUI
BTW any thoughts on my post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128927

Don't see the point in adding that for those realy rare cases.
