Ah okay, thanks for responding anyway The way I have some shows in my library they do not even list episode names for example, or some have different ways of numbering episodes, and in Launchbox all the series are just the series as 1 title and not each episode, so I'd basically have to redo my entire library in multiple ways in order to use the scraper as it is. Dang it! Hopefully there is an alternative scraper one day for TV shows then, would definitely save me a huge amount of work manually putting in info

Thank you so much! I use a mix of my PC monitor and my TV when I use launchbox since I use Big Box most of the time, so I always try to use higher quality backgrounds. Saved me a whole lot of work with this scraper and any movies that it doesn't recognize or images that don't get picked up by it are few and far between so I don't mind having to manually do a handful. Also, I'll give that TV Series Scraper a try although I think thats the one I tried before, thanks for the tip

Hello just a question before I give this a test drive, would I be able to do this on say, a single episode, and just use that as a full series? The way I have it set up, I use launchbox to launch the first episode of a show, or pick which season I want from the Additional Tabs menu, and then pick the exact episode in the video player instead. Outside of the run time being inaccurate, would it download the series info like the logo background etc and I can just use that as the whole series in one title? or would it HAVE to be named a certain episode title first before I can scrape it? EDIT: Tried it and yeah it seems like I can't do this. Would you ever consider a version release like this that solely scrapes the images and metadata for the series, without the need for episode title and number? Maybe as just an option in the settings. I'd really love to use it that way!

Tried the temporary fix and it seems to have fixed the issue, the background instantly downloaded correctly. How silly! In the meantime while I wait for the update I'll just do it this way. Thanks! By the way, kind of unrelated, think there's any way to make an easy to use scraper like this for TV series? I imagine it might be a little more tricky for something like that, but the only scraper I saw for TV series on here was like, if you had each individual tv episode added, which is not how I have it set up, I have it so its just the whole series put as a single title there and then I choose the episode myself afterwards, so in other words its listed the same as my movies, but anyway I'm rambling can't wait for the update to this movie scraper! thanks for troubleshooting with me By the way, is there a reason much of the background art downloads at such a low resolution? I can deal with it over having to do all the work myself but it can be a little distracting since I don't often use a blur on the background. Thanks!

The image is just the background I use for the platform itself, it looks like this. (Image below) Anyway, here is the file Platforms.xml

Just checked, none of the folders direct to Images\Platforms\Movies, its all Images\Movies.

Alright, trying this now with the debug version of the scraper. For the record though, I did try copying the folder somewhere else before and deleting all the fanart background images and then trying the plugin, and still nothing happened. That said maybe moving it to the first launchbox folder might do something, so lemme give it a shot! Tried it and sadly, no dice. Once again logos and things downloaded, but no background. Logs seem to imply it continues to think there is already a background image there even though there is not. As well, it seems to say it is trying to save the files to a folder called "Fanart" instead of Fanart - Background. Is this normal? The thing is, I looked in the directory it states in the logs, and there literally isn't even a Fanart folder in there...here's a picture of what is in my images folder looks like after running the plugin again with your instructions, and here's the log file. EDIT: I think I found the issue after reading the logs again, but you let me know if this is correct. It looks like it is trying to save the background image to "Images\Platforms\Movies" but my directory for images in movies is "Images\Movies" as is my directory for every other console I have in Launchbox, as is normal. Strangely this seemingly only does this with the background image, while everything else goes to the correct directory. Know any way to fix this? LogFile 2025-01-18 03-14-27.txt

The Structure was by design yes on my end due to the way I add some extra material to some games (Artbooks, Tournament videos, that sort of thing). The backgrounds for centimeters per second were also done by me, all images currently there are not from the plugin but ones I had manually put in (I actually was using Launchbox for movies far before I found this plugin, but this would help a ton with the movies I hadn't added yet hence trying it out) There is no images folder in the first Launchbox folder there, as the only thing listed there is the Extra Materials folder and the second Launchbox folder. See image attached below

Yes, those 5 are checkmarked and nothing else in the Background Priorities section. Here's what my folder looks like in images. let me know if anything seems off. And no, I do not have any other movies that are close in name to the ones I've tried so far. Do you think there would be any way to upload a version of this scraper where even if it says there is already a background image, it downloads a new one anyway to overcome this issue? If we can't find a fix anyway

The images that it successfully downloads are the Box - Front, Arcade- Marquee, Banner, Clear Logo, and Disc. On my Background Priorities list, I have every type of background checkmarked, however Fanart - Background is at the top of the list. Any idea what could be going on? By the way here is a log file.

Hello, yes I tried all of the above as I saw you had posted this solution earlier in the thread, but this did not fix my issue. I scrolled the images and no background was downloaded, I looked in the log files and it did not say "no background for this movie" rather it told me that a background already existed (no background image is there) and I checked the website for both for these movies and they do indeed have backgrounds on both TMDB and Fanart.tv Any idea what could be going on? Everything else like the cover, disc art, logo, etc downloads and is shown, but so far none of them will get the background image

How did you fix this issue? It says "Fanart-background image already exists" for me yet there is no background image downloaded and nothing in the images that were downloaded. Can someone help me fix this? I really don't wanna manually put backgrounds on all these
