Seems to be working fine. I can’t actually tell whether it’s being used but I activated the agent in my sections and I am receiving fanart (I do hace other fanart sources too though). At least I am not getting any errors. Great job, thanks a lot!! ---

I can confirm this. It has disappeared from my installed channels, however, it's still being shown in the channel directory (and has the "installed" checkmark overlay on the icon). It's also still showing in the agents configuration so I am guessing it's still installed, just not showing correctly. ---

I've had the Fanart.tv agent installed for a few days now, and I've enabled it on both Artists and Albums in my Music section, but it still hasn't added any art to the Artists.  Am I right in expecting this to happen? My albums already have all the album art work via the ID3 tags so I wasn't expecting to see any changes there.  G. [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/fanart-tv/29000.md?page=2)
