Folder.jpg and season images

Post by devster »

I'm currently using artwork=y in the AMC script but sometimes (quite often actually), the images seem to be get downloaded just fine but in reality they're zero sized files which I cannot open at all. folder.jpg is particularly frequent.
Another thing that seems strange to me is the actual files downloaded.
For example, for Kodi season posters should be:

Code: Select all

season01-poster.jpg/png   ---   f:\TVShows\Dominion\season01-poster.jpg/png
while FileBot downloads them in:

Code: Select all

f:\TVShows\Dominion\Season 1\poster.jpg
although I never tried with a flat folder structure.
I guess the main question is if which artworks and the exact artwork structure is customizable.
I only work in black and sometimes very, very dark grey. (Batman)

1.
The latest release of FileBot should have fixed the 0 bytes artwork issue.

@see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5329


2.
I only use Plex. Does Kodi have any kind of documentation on how artwork should be named? IMHO, best to leave artwork fetching to Kodi/Plex/Emby etc and let them do things in their own way once things are renamed and easy to identify.

2. there is a standard for Kodi here but it seems quite cumbersome to add specifically, I was looking more at something I can customize myself similar to format expressions if it's feasible/available at all.

You can just use my script ;)
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5451

btw: I use KODI and I have set it to only use local files (artwork + nfo) aka never download.
Also actor pics, by default KODI downloads/displays the pics from the URL's/Links in the NFO's files

In this case, I would recommend a custom post-processing script that you call after the amc script, to rename all the amc script default names to something that makes sense to Kodi.

Interesting, since it seems to have quite a few things I might like I'll try to switch to it.
Do you have it on a GitHub repo?

No, I don't like the "pay or it's public" on GitHub.

So you most use it like:

Code: Select all

filebot -script "amc_custom.groovy"
If you find any errors or something that can be better with my script, please say so

btw: In the future, I will maybe put in on e.g. GitHub, if enough people requests it, but not now.
