Fanart Handler Plugin v4.0.X.000 (4 Viewers)

but you mean
"Using the names of artists and albums sign "-" is unacceptable. Replace them with a space.
Ie for the artist In-Grid album Best of 1990-1995 file will be named: In Grid Best of 1990 1995 (1).jpg"

No! Artist without "-": In Grid, Album without "-": Best of 1990 1995 result file name: In Grid-Best of 1990 1995 (1).jpg
Sign "-" says the plugin, where the actor, and where the album, and serves as a separator.

In readme
"Using the names of artists and albums sign "-" is unacceptable. Replace them with a space.
Ie for the artist In-Grid album Best of 1990-1995 file will be named: In Grid-Best of 1990 1995 (1).jpg"

FanartHandler 4.0.0.92 (Alpha)
+ Added ability to scan folders with music, to search those fanart (mask fanart*.jpg).
+ Added settings to enable this feature, (not in configurator, only in fanarthandler.xml)
- ScanMusicFoldersForFanart,
- MusicFoldersArtistAlbumRegex.
+ To start scanning option ScanMusicFoldersForFanart must be True. A MusicFoldersArtistAlbumRegex is not empty and contain the name of group to search for: ?<actor> and ?<album>.
For Example (from my test config file):

    <entry name="ScanMusicFoldersForFanart">True</entry>
    <entry name="MusicFoldersArtistAlbumRegex">\\(?&lt;artist&gt;[^\\]+?)\\(?&lt;album&gt;[^\\]+?)\\[^\\]+?\..+?$</entry>

+ Scanning occurs only at the start of the plugin, and perhaps with a scheduled scan (every 6,12 hours, like as set in the configurator).
* Fixed regular expressions to handle local files.

Ah! ok ok, i understand jet, only one '-' is allow

If more then one '-' the plug-in will take something like this:
for In-Grid-The Best of 1998-1990 (1).jpg - Artist In Album Grid-The Best of 1998-1990
Well and accordingly did not show for the artist In-Grid.

PS: Regular expression, it is necessary to make yourself, for your organization directory. And do not forget that if the regular expression will return the name of the album type: 1998 Album, then when playing this album, this fanart will not be shown.

Thanks! Will try this when I have the time (probably not before the weekend).

One question: Does this work on artist basis also? I mean if I have the fanart in the artist folder and leave the ?<album> out of the RegEx.

One question: Does this work on artist basis also? I mean if I have the fanart in the artist folder and leave the ?<album> out of the RegEx.

For an artist regular expression must return a value Artist name for the tag <artist>, and a null value for the tag <album>.
Like:

11-Dec-2014 13:29:07 Debug [       FanartHandler]: For Artist: [kino] Album: [] fanart found: D:\Media\Music\Kino\fanart.jpg

PS: My regular expression for this is not appropriate.

Old FanartHandler:

11-Dec-2014 20:04:10  Info [ FanartHandlerConfig]: Fanart Handler version is 3.1.0.0

Not support new Library:

11-Dec-2014 20:04:40 Error [  ScraperThumbWorker]: OnDoWork: System.TypeLoadException: Impossibile caricare il tipo 'MediaPortal.Music.Database.AudioscrobblerBase' dall'assembly 'Databases, Version=1.9.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
   in FanartHandler.DatabaseManager.InitialThumbScrape(Boolean onlyMissing)
   in FanartHandler.ScraperThumbWorker.OnDoWork(DoWorkEventArgs e)

Here I can not help you. Something I can help with the plugin version 4.x.

FanartHandler 4.0.0.98 (Alpha)
* Replaced string Boolean variables to Boolean. Must work faster.
* FanartHandler.xml - updated. At the start, must be renewed automatically. But it is better to check the settings.
We need to check all the modes, I could break.

FanartHandler 4.0.0.99 (Alpha)
+ Add support for Fanart.TV Personal API key.
+ Add settings to FanartHandler.xml - FanartTVPersonalAPIKey

<entry name="FanartTVPersonalAPIKey"></entry>

Personal API keys
We have a new feature called personal API keys, these are used in conjunction with the API key you registered for your app, the difference is a users personal API key can be sent as well.

You should encourage your users to generate personal API keys at https://fanart.tv/get-an-api-key/ as requests to the API without a personal API key return results that were approved over 7 days ago, with a personal API key that drops to around 48 hours and if the user is also a VIP member that will further drop to around 10 minutes.

In comparison, calls to the v2 API return results that are 14 days or older.

@yoavain If this build is working properly, possible to make it stable, and let's make the installer to load in the media portals.
