Introduction
The use of artwork will transform your media player into a showpiece to be proud of, especially when teamed up with your favourite skin. Kodi will allow you to display Posters, Fanart, Album Covers, Actor and Artist images to name a few. Install the Picture Slideshow add-on, and you will have a constant display of video or music fanart to brighten your entertainment room.
Kodi will retrieve artwork automatically during the scraping process and cache it for display. No artwork is saved to your local media folders.
If you prefer to save the artwork locally for future library rebuilds, install one of the following addons to ease the process of downloading the original artwork to your media folders.
- Artwork Dump- for v19 and later
- Skin Info Service - for v21 and later
Artwork settings can be found here...
- Music artwork settings are located in Settings > Media > Music > Artwork
- Video artwork settings are located in Settings > Media > Videos > Artwork
The Kodi scrapers automatically download artwork with little input required by the user. These pages are for those users that want greater control over their artwork by saving artwork locally or creating their own.
