Scraping

The Kodi scrapers can automatically download movie set artwork without any extra effort from the user.

Artwork settings for the video library are adjusted in the Kodi settings pages here... Settings > Media > Videos > Artwork


Local Artwork

Kodi v19 (Matrix) improved handling of local movie set artwork. Movie set artwork is now saved in the Movie Set Information Folder.[1] Movie-set artwork traditionally located in the movie folder will no longer be used.

To set up local artwork for movie sets, follow the instructions detailed in the Movie Set Information Folder page.


Kodi v22 (Piers) introduces a Refresh option for Movie Sets which is located in the Movie Set Information Page.[2] This allows users to update the set with newly added artwork, as well as allowing changes to metadata via the new set.nfo file

When adding new artwork to the MSIF, the new artwork will be immediately visible after refreshing. When changing existing artwork, the 24 hour image cache still has priority so the updated artwork may not be seen immediately.
