Moe:
Just wanted to give a heads up that McUtils has been updated, it can now get images from Fanart.tv.  This allows you to get Logos (my favorite), banners, posters, backgrounds and more.  Works for both TV and movies.

arcspin:
Thank you Moe for this update.
I will for sure look into this.
Any tips how to get this up and running?

Lepa, any eta for a template how to set up similar movies?


Best regards,
arcspin

Moe:
It's a pretty simple config for this.  So, you set up your config which is basically saying where you want the files saved and what name you want them saved as.  Then running the command to get the image that you want.

As an example, here is a part of my config file

--- Code: --- #Use this path for testing
        #download_location => '$DESKTOP/mcutils_data/fanart_images',

#Use this path for production
download_location => '[FanartPath]',


            movies => {

                # default max number of movie category images
                max_images => 1,

                categories => {
                    hdmovieclearart => {
                        # overrides default max_images above for this category
# max_images => 3,
                        # overrides the name of this image download name to "movie_hdca"
                    name       => 'clearart',
                    },
                    hdmovielogo     => {
name       => 'logo',
},
                    movieart        => {
name       => 'fanart',
},
                    moviebackground => {
name       => 'landscape',
},
moviebanner     => {
name       => 'banner',
},
                    movielogo       => {
name       => 'logo2',
},
                    movieposter     => {
name       => 'poster',
},
                    moviethumb      => { },
name       => 'thumb',
                },
            },
            tv => {
                # default max number of tv category images
                max_images => 1,

                categories => {
                    seasonthumb     => { },
                    hdtvlogo        => {
name       => 'logo',
},

--- End code ---

That [FanartPath] field up above is a custom field the I created that saves the images into the correct folder for my setup.  It has this value:


--- Code: ---regex([Filename (path)], /#(^[^\\]+?\\[^\\]+?\\)#/,-1,0)[R1]
--- End code ---

Mine is more complicated than necessary, MrC simplified things after I had made that.  You can now tell the script where you want things stored for movies and TV separately, my custom field works for both movies and TV.

After your config is setup then you just run commands like these


--- Code: ---pscriptor fanarttv --image hdtvlogo --type tv -VV
pscriptor fanarttv --image hdmovielogo --type movie -VV
pscriptor fanarttv --image movieposter --type movie -VV

--- End code ---

Something new with this script you can substitute the type with "fromsubtype"  which will use the Media Sub Type to determine if your file is a movie or TV show.  This allows you to select both movie and TV shows at the same time and then you can run something like this


--- Code: ---pscriptor fanarttv --image moviebanner --image tvbanner:3 -FF type fromsubtype
--- End code ---

Which will pull down however many moviebanners you've set in your config for any movie files selected and pull down 3 tvbanners for any TV shows selected.
