Artwork Downloader not working - trying to apply fix to LE

  • My setup is an HTPC running latest Libreelec Krypton millhouse build.

    My artwork downloader stopped working and I found a solution over at the kodi forums but apparently the directory structure of libreELEC is different that the straight up kodi install for linux. It says on a linux build, I must edit a file in the \\your.ip.address\kodi\addons\script.artwork.downloader\lib\provider folder. Unfortunately, I'm unable to navigate (via SMB from my windows computer to my LE box) to the folder.

    I connected via SMB and drilled down through all the directories available, but they didn't contain the same structure as mentioned in the solution below.

    Has anyone had to edit the fanarttv.py file to get their artwork downloader working?

    Heres a link to the post with solution over at Kodi forums:

    Artwork Downloader

  • Thanks for sharing this here as well.

    I just did that on my LibreELEC 8.1.2 setup,

    just used the SSH and "vi" for editing.

    In UX the path to these two Python script files looks like:

    Code
    /storage/.kodi/addons/script.artwork.downloader/lib/provider

    If you're not comfortable with UX prompt - use WinSCP client, for example. ;)
