CoverArt plugin - some questions


Recommended Posts

hey

before I install the plugin and mess up my library, I'd like to know how the plugin exactly works.

 

Does it simply replace the poster.jpg file of each movie or will it create seperate files?

Will the new covers also be visible in Kodi?

No, the enhanced files are stored in server directory.

 

Yes the covers are visible in Kodi, but most skins cut them off since they aren't optimized for pre optimized coverart.

thank you

do you know if it works good with Titan Skin?

It doesn't modify your artwork in any way.  The treatments are created as needed and cached.

thank's

will it stress the CPU all the time or do the new covers only have to be loaded once?

Because my Synology gets very slow with the plugin activated

another question:

I just want to have two types of covers for my movies:

HD: Bluray cover (which works fine out of the box)

SD: DVD cover (unfortunately these covers are only grey without the "DVD" symbol)

 

How can I accomplish that?

Can you provide an example?

 

Have you tried mapping SD to DVD?

Should only be processed once to the cache\images folder.

Thank you, can be that easy!

 

 

Is there a way to force-cache everything?

At the moment it looks like it processes only the shown covers.

I don't want the CPU being maxed out at "rush hour" :-)

No, because items are cached at display size.
