	~~'''Basic''' artwork requires no special setup as it has always been natively scanned and scraped by {{kodi}}~~

	'''Extended''' artwork required the use of additional add-ons in previous versions. Artwork Downloader (now defunct) was used. More recently '''''[https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=258886 Artwork Beef]''''' is used.

	~~Users now have the '''option''' of allowing {{kodi}} to load all artwork without add-ons. To use this feature...~~

	:'''1.''' Add the below code to the '''[[Advancedsettings.xml\| advancedsettings.xml]]''' file, ensuring you do not duplicate any tags if they already exist... eg ''<advancedsettings></advancedsettings>, <videolibrary></videolibrary>''		= Scraping =
	:'''2a.''' Install the '''[[Add-on:Universal_Movie_Scraper\|Universal Movie Scraper]]''' and adjust the settings to enable scraping of Extended artwork as they are disabled by default. (see image below code box)		The {{kodi}} scrapers can automatically download artwork without any extra effort from the user.
	~~:'''2b.''' If you have local artwork saved as detailed in the next section,~~ {{kodi}} ~~will scan this first and~~ the ~~Universal Movie Scraper is not required.~~
	~~:'''3.''' Restart {{kodi}} and scan or scrape movies as per usual~~.

	~~:'''Note:''' The code box below adds common extended artwork that most skins will utilise. It is your choice which extended artwork you add. If you add additional to that shown, ensure~~ the ~~skin has support to display it~~.		Artwork settings for the video library are adjusted in the {{kodi}} settings pages here... {{highlight\|[[Settings/Media/Videos#Artwork\|Settings > Media > Videos > Artwork]]}}
	~~:'''Note:''' The Universal Movie Scraper does not scrape extra fanart (''fanartxx'')~~. ~~Extra fanart must saved as local artwork for Kodi to scan~~.
