Fanart Handler Plugin v4.0.X.000 (3 Viewers)

Sorry for the confusion ajs, have been testing music section cache load last week and seems i messed something up.

I'll check at home, where there may be some mistake.

I'll check at home, where there may be some mistake.

No worries, the music cache issue is unrelated to FH (Windows cache related).

And FH is working just fine now. Looks like my music dB was empty and that's why FH didn't scrape anything
I'll keep testing and let you know if i run into a problem

1 thing i'm sure of now is the resolution of the scraped Artist Thumbs. FH seems to scrape 600x600 images (as you said, probably based on Thumbnail settings MP Config), but MIH scrapes 1000x1000 images and doesn't seem affected by this setting.
Which means that the Artist Thumbnails from MIH are from a much higher quality (and that's what i wanted to test yesterday)
Isn't there any way to bypass this? It seems MIH is able to simply download original sized Thumbs from Fanart.tv

Checked working. Removes and re-download.[DOUBLEPOST=1419502312][/DOUBLEPOST]

It is necessary to add an option that will override the setting of the MP. If the file has a resolution greater than found in the MP.

That would be nice, because the quality of both Album & Artist Thumbs on fanart.tv is 1000*1000.

FanartHandler.4.0.0.134 (Beta)
+ Add option (Configurator Thumbs tab) that will override the setting of the MP. If the file has a resolution greater than found in the MP. (Default - Off)

    <entry name="UseHighDefThumbnails">no</entry>

If you turn, it works like this:
Not override because picture is less.

Override because picture bigger.

All great now, although i'm still thinking about the quality

We now have an option that gives us better thumbnails than the defined 600x600 in MP Config.
My experience is that those 1000*1000 resolution thumbs look good on a 100" screen (projector).

What about an option for a minimum resolution?
I'm getting a lot of 'bad' resolution thumbs now (probably because nothing better is available on the sources).

If i can define a minimum resolution, then the missing Thumb will be visible in MP GUI, and then i know i need to fix it myself (and update fanart.tv with the high quality thumb).
What do you think of this?

Can either be a checkbox for 'Use High Quality Thumbs only (=>1000*1000) or maybe even a checkbox were you can enter the minimum number of pixels (1000 for example) and it checks for at least 1000*1000.

And i just noticed an issue while scraping for missing thumbs.
When the scrape started it said it had to scrape for 274 artists:

 25-Dec-2014 13:37:50 Debug [     DatabaseManager]: InitialThumbScrape Artists: [274]

But somehow it exceeds that number, and then starts throwing an exception:

25-Dec-2014 13:56:35 Error [ FanartHandlerConfig]: UpdateFanartThumbTable: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Value of '277' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'minimum' and 'maximum'.

Hello,

I have encountered two issues:

1. Name handling if Artist name contains a Hyphen. For the band "a-ha" the FH does incorrect things:

As you can see, the Artist Name now becomes "a", while the official Name is "a-ha".

2. TV Series: There areno series Pictures shown anymore. Instead I have a static and unrelated picture displayed. This worked until yesterday though.[DOUBLEPOST=1419514650][/DOUBLEPOST]Should show some more content...
