Some "Artwork" questions

[nonob]

Hi,

Hi,
But from where are downloaded artworks if all services are disabled in Artwork settings ?!

I'm curious

I just double checked here, and with no artwork services enabled, it's not downloading any artwork. It will still use artwork that has been downloaded previously though (from the directories I mentioned earlier)

Hi,

No artworks are present in C:\users\public\NPVR\media\shows or C:\users\public\NPVR\thumbs when i do test.

This is a detailed step :

I uncheck "Enable downloading", use the "Clear cached Artwork" button (Shows and Thumbs folders are cleared) and click on OK (all services are disabled) :



I open a program in NextPVR Guide. No Artwork is displayed (normal) and an xml file is downloaded in Show folder :



I open NPVR settings, check "Enable downloading of metadata"; all services are still disabled, then i click on OK :



I open the program in NPVR Guide : artwork id displayed and a jpg file is put in Shows folder :



I check the log, it says "Downloading metadata and artwork took +277ms" :

Code:

2019-09-23 09:08:09.905    [DEBUG][11]    Got poster
2019-09-23 09:08:09.906    [DEBUG][10]    Downloading metadata and artwork took + 277ms
2019-09-23 09:08:09.906    [DEBUG][10]    entity@1:C:\Users\Public\NPVR\media\shows\Téléshopping.jpg
2019-09-23 09:08:09.906    [DEBUG][10]    Got it new artwork

Am i missing something ?

Am i missing something ?

This is a wild guess ... Is NextPVR downloading files based on information from the EPG xmltv file?

Hi

I made a test : i changed an image link in my xml file with a link found on internet (a flower) : the image (from the link i put manually) is displayed in NextPVR :


So : images links in XML are used by NextPVR, even when none service is enabled.

It is a good thing

But i have a little issue : it seems that NextPVR download the first image linked it found for a series, and use it for others episodes of the same series, even if the image is different in the xml file (another link).

Thanks

NextPVR does not support episode art.

Ok, so if i understand, it is normal : it download only one art by serie.

Is it planned to offer artwork for each episode ?

Hopefully in a future release.

Did you see that ? You thought NextPVR wasn't using image links in XML file but it does. Have you an explanation ?

I'm pretty sure it's not even looking at the <icon> tag in an xmltv file, since none of my xmltv files have this.
