How to fetch artwork?

[n4ken]

Hi been using filebot in a very basic way for a while and have donated and very happy with the support that has been given.
However I am now feel adventurous and want to go further.
This is the rename preset I have made which works as I want it to. I also have utorrent doing it's thing.

== TV ReName preset ====
C:/Users/Ken/Desktop/Test Files/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/s{s.pad(2)}e{e.pad(2)} {t}

gives this result \series name\season 0?\s0?e0? episode title.ext

However I now feel adventurous and want to go further and download artwork and this is where I have come to a complete stop.
I have looked , PROMISE, but cannot see a very basic example from which I can build on.

The how to's do not go from the very beginning steps all assuming some knowledge and experience which I clearly do not have.
I'm not asking someone to write the script or preset for me, after all thats part of the fun and frustration. Just a starting point.

I'm sure you must be groaning that another newbie can't be bothered to help themselves but that isn't the case.

Can you give me a push to the info or very basic example's I need to start from.

Thanks in advance.

The GUI doesn't do artwork. If you're looking for command-line tools / scripts that can fetch artwork, then you will find them here:

Hi again....

Thanks again for your very prompt response to my rather embarrasing plea for help.

I can see that everything I needed to know was there for everyone to see. But it was quite daunting to dip into the mass of information that is there. Especially as I was starting for a very important misconception

I had assumed that you could add a scipt into the custom preset and include the functionality of downloading artwork etc etc etc...

Now that I firmly understand that most basic of priniciples I can make sense of some of it. It'll be quite some time before I am able to start customising scripts to my requirements but I can now approach the subject form the correct approach ie self contained applets that run with input from the calling program, utorrent, and not from the gui which is where I was going soooo wronge.

I've spent time playing about with some of the examples and have found a new way of losing a whole morning with nothing to show for it

Thanks again and keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what you may add in the future.

Merry Christmas to you all
