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

This problem only occurs when you scan folders for files and attempt recognize, where the artist and where the album. Decide I simply can not do that, because as an artist with a sign - not so much as albums. These artists have to add FanartHandler.xml exception section:

  <section name="Artists">
    <entry name="artist0">A-Ha|A Ha</entry>
    <entry name="artist0">In-Grid|In Grid</entry>
    <entry name="artist1">Vanessa-Mae|Vanessa Mae</entry>
    <entry name="artist2">Би-2|Би 2</entry>
    <entry name="artist3">Annette Struck-Vrangos|Annette Struck Vrangos</entry>
    <entry name="artist4">Dick Dale &amp; His Del-Toness|Dick Dale &amp; His Del Toness</entry>
    <entry name="artist5">Ness-Beal|Ness Beal</entry>
    <entry name="artist6">Julien-K|Julien K</entry>
    <entry name="artist7">Paul Badura-Skod|Paul Badura Skod</entry>
    <entry name="artist8">Jean-Michel Jarre|Jean Michel Jarre</entry>
  </section>

But in general, it may not affect anything except the appearance in the configurator and traffic on the re-download images for these artists.[DOUBLEPOST=1419515393][/DOUBLEPOST]

TV Series: There areno series Pictures shown anymore. Instead I have a static and unrelated picture displayed. This worked until yesterday though.

I've touched nothing, and fanart shows plug-in for serials. Who then there is a problem?[DOUBLEPOST=1419515528][/DOUBLEPOST]

What about an option for a minimum resolution?

This setting is (first tab), but we need to see why it does not affect to the thumbs.

Looked, it affects only the display. It is necessary to know the opinion of users do so that it affects the downloading of images or not.

Works correct and perfect here

Close Configurator FA & MP.
Add to FanartHandler.xml:

    <entry name="UseMinimumResolutionForDownload">yes</entry>

Run Configurator, set - Minimum Resolution for All Fanart - 1000x1000 - Close Configurator FA & MP. Run Configurator and try re-download pictures.

FanartHandler 4.0.0.138 (Alpha)
+ Add internal (alpha test) option - UseMinimumResolutionForDownload
* Cleanup code.

I start being really confused, pictures seem to have disappeared. In which path are TV Series Background pictures stored? And if they don't exist, are they downloaded by FH?

No, they have to download a TV-Series plugin.

Thanks. I thought that FH takes care of the series fanart and had deleted the Folder "Fan Art".

The artwork handling is kind of chaotic.

Run Configurator, set - Minimum Resolution for All Fanart - 1000x1000 - Close Configurator FA & MP. Run Configurator and try re-download pictures.

Seems to work really nice so far

ajs, the L(arge) thumbs are 1000*1000 , but the small ones are set @ 140*140.
Not really sure where those micro thumbs are used, but could that resolution by increased to 200*200 (that's the resolution MIH seems to use also) or would that be too complex to do?
If it's too much work, don't worry, then i'll do it manually

Maybe it's easier to consider improving the MP Thumbnail settings. i'm pretty sure the 'high quality' thumbs (max 600x600) aren't sufficiënt for a clean picture on UHD screens & projectors.
