Hi,

 

A reinstall fixed this issue, the AMC updater with IMDB-Full script is now faithfully downloading cover art as expected.  (Would still appreciate a tool for managing cover art for all movies)

 

There are however a few remaining issues I would like to mention:

 

1. No image in Big-Icon layout, when Cover Art file is very large

About 5% of my Movies still show the 'No Cover' default icon.  When I use the MP GUI to enter Cover Manager, I discover that there is in fact a valid image on file for most of them.   Cover-manager can display the image fine, It shows as selected, but none of the GUI locations that use the Cover art show anything

The common denominator seems to be that these files are all over 2MB is size.

 

2. Ampersand in IMDB name, breaks Cover art

Cowboys & Aliens.  It doesn't matter what I call the file, if the grabber script identifies it MyFilms has issues

  • Cover art is downloaded
  • Visible in Cover manager
  • Larger version of Cover art visible when movie is selected
  • But no Cover art shows in Big Icons layout
  • Also the title always shows as "COWBOYS & ALIENS"

3. Wrong cover art when there is a remake by the same title

Clash of the Titans (2010) (tt0800320).mkv

Clash of the Titans (1981) (tt0082186).mkv

 

Is there perhaps a better way for me to name those files?  The Grabber script identifies them correctly, all the details are displayed correctly.

But only one image file is downloaded (Clash of the Titans.jpg), and displayed for both files.  They also share the same fan art, though oddly the fan art from 1981 while the cover is from 2010.

 

 

Any advice?
