Scraping

The Kodi scrapers can automatically download 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

Local movie artwork is saved in the same folder where the movie file is saved.

The default file name for movie artwork is <movie file name>-<arttype>.<ext> - see image below. (does not apply to DVD and Bluray folders)

There is also a short name <arttype>.<ext> that can be used. Short artwork names can be used and are scanned only when the following conditions are met...

  1. Movie Folders are used
  2. Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title must be Enabled in the Set Content Screen
  3. No corresponding artwork with long format names are present in that movie folder, as these take priority.
