There you go giftie. I think some of the errors in this log relate to me deleting the thumbnail cache from the userdata folder though.

I posted a thread here; http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=134558 relating to it, as I'm assuming this in particular has nothing to do with your script but I could be wrong. So if you have time to look at the post I'd appreciate it.

You need to have XBMC in debug mode and try again.

If you go into cdART Manager and Search By Artist(for cdART) does Florence + the machine show up with artwork?

Yes it does so it must be a skin issue or xbmc database issue, leave it with me as I have other artists to correct as well and I will get back to you with a concrete answer

That´s how it looks with my database:

What action(s) invoke the creation of missing.txt?

A have no cdart.png files in any directory of my music library. Obviously, I am not that familier yet with how everything goes but you pointed me in the good direction.

You can use the script to download the artwork that it finds on fanart.tv.

Ok i have to figure things out then, because i don't want all .png files into my music library. Are there any things i can do with a cron-job or something like that, because i always have ssh access but not always physical

@giftie

Do you have a new test version to fix the missing.txt file?

Thanks

Just use the exit button within cdART.
If you exit through the "update xbmc´s thumbnails & fanart"-option, missing.txt won´t be saved.

I´m sure giftie is tired of repeating himself so I will do it for him

This will keep you music path clean of the fanarts, extrafanarts, clearlogos, artist thumbs and allow most skins(that use these files) to have proper access.

Album paths are fairly easy to figure out, Artist paths not so much...

cdart.png and folder.jpg(album cover) should always end up in the right place.

I was actually waiting for a debug.log from someone(not you) that was having a problem starting the script after triggering an 'Update Thumbnails and Fanarts' so I can catch that bug before the next test release.

I got bored and started adding a big feature. Edit by Artist and Edit by Album. These functions will allow the user to edit the MBIDs for artists and Albums. Right now I have the automatic functions working and hope to have the manual MBID entry working soon. Though I might toss up a test version tonight, once i get the Progress Dialogs working again.

Ok so I will wait to have a missing.txt

Thanks

Thanks, much appreciated, will start looking through there.

Skins that support cdARTs usually have a generic cdart in their /media folder, though most have the artwork stored in Textures.xbt. Also the following threat -> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=53242 might have a generic cdART image. It is 44 pages long, though it also is the first cdART thread as well...
