Possible to make, but here's where to save and what names? And why only htbackdrops.org? Can also still with fanart.tv ...

But the question of who is other than you need?

Possible to make, but here's where to save and what names?

I would say like currently with the ClearArt etc., the user can specify the path to save the fanarts and later copy to the MP thumb folder. File name would be artist name.

And why only htbackdrops.org?

Not only backdrops.org! I prefer fanart.tv because I think that this is currently a better source (htbackdrops.org eventually can be added later).

But the question of who is other than you need?

I don't know maybe you start a poll, if this is a needed feature

Thanks for your work!

I can try to add the download backdrops, from fanart.tv. htbackdrops.org use while difficult to get access to the APIneed highly alter the program.

But I can handle only one image, so when downloading is only one backdrop for each artist.

Just cleaning mode will not work properly if the target directory will be the same as for loading backdrops, standard plugin or fanart plugin.

Hi ajs,
as I said before, I'm fine with fanart.tv!

But I can handle only one image, so when downloading is only one backdrop for each artist.

Well, if it must be so, then I must live with it. You can't add something like a counter? For example: "jay-z_001.jpg", "jay-z_002.jpg" etc. ? Fanarthandler use numbers in brackets: "jay z (40150).jpg", "jay z (54526).jpg". Unfortunately I don't know what the number means

Add support for one picture, this 5 minutes of the case, but add load all the images (whether they are all, if not all, and how to choose what want, and then how to behave in update mode) here you need to look and think.

I believe fanarthandler has an option where you can define how many pics will be loaded (before you start scraping). Maybe @cul8er can help you with that?

This is not a problem, but if the site 10 pictures, and they vydayutsya in a different order. And to set up costs 3, which ones to download? Count the number of already loaded and then analyze? As it is not very nice. Especially if you use a plug-fanart, then this folder may have already been uploaded files. Yes, and improved support for 1.6 stated that you require pictures. I thought, well, nobody your idea has not yet supported.

Awesome!

Thank you very much

I'm testing the new version. So far my observations:
- the tooltip for the Count (BG) filed says "-1 All", unfortunately I can't write -1 because after I try to tip "-" on my keyboard I receive a hint that this is an unacceptable character. Pasting "-1" from clipboard works and I can download all images for the artist.
- could you add a column "status (backgroud)" so I can see for whom artist backgrounds aren't available?
- I think the download has a problem with the artist "Drake". The search results on the fanart.tv site gives two results: 1. "Drake (Canadian actor/rapper)", 2. "Drake, Nick". The correct result for the search word "drake" would be the first result. MePo Tools doesn't download any image for this artist. Could you look into this?
Thanks in advance!
