v18 introduces an '''experimental''' feature that will auto-load '''local''' extended artwork without the use of additional add-ons. It is considered an advanced feature. Usage and practicality of this feature are being monitored and may change in later releases.
In the Music Video Library, artwork is described as follows:
{| class="prettytable"
|-
! colspan="2" style="text-align:left;" | Basic Artwork
! colspan="1" style="text-align:left; background-color:#ffffff;" |
! colspan="8" style="text-align:left;" | Extended Artwork
|-
|style="width:80px; text-align:left;"|fanart
|style="width:80px; text-align:left;"|poster
|style="text-align:left; background-color:#ffffff;" |
|style="width:80px; text-align:left;"|banner
|style="width:80px; text-align:left;"|clearart
|style="width:80px; text-align:left;"|clearlogo
|style="width:80px; text-align:left;"|discart
|style="width:100px; text-align:left;"|fanart''xx'' (extrafanart)
|style="width:80px; text-align:left;"|landscape
|}
'''Basic''' artwork requires no special setup as it has always been natively scanned and scraped by {{kodi}}
'''Extended''' Is available from v18 only using the '''[[Advancedsettings.xml#Extra artwork| whitelisted in advancedsettings.xml]]''' method.
The Music Videos library supports '''local only''' Extended artwork. 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>''
:'''2.''' Save correctly named local artwork as detailed in the next section - ''Artwork Types''. The Music Video scraper does not download extended artwork.
:'''3.''' Restart {{kodi}} and scan or scrape music videos 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.
