How to add poster .jpg manualy (and in sub-folders)

Hi
I´m using Artwork downloader but some of my Swedish movie posters can´t be found by the add-on.
So how can I add a poster manually to my Swedish movies? Where should I put the jpg and how do I name the file?

Another question:
Lets say I have a folder called "Fredrik Kraft" with several sub folders with movies with this guy Fredrik Kraft.
Could I have a poster for the highest level folder where there is no movie file included (just sub folders with all Fredrik Kraft movies in)?

Thanks guys for your support

Keyboard opens when using input variable for http request

Hey guys,
I´m trying to code my first video addon using python.
The addon should do the following:
1. Open the keyboard, and ask for an input
2. call an api with the input variable as last parameter
3. Give out the result as a list

It works, but quickly after the list will be created, the keyboard opens again and my error message (if not path) pops up.
The Kodi log says that it is impossible to combine a string with an boolean.
If i write the search parameter directly in the source code, it works perfectly.

Hope for help Smile

Trouble with externel keyboard and ö ä ü etc.

Hi, I need help with missing characters when using an external keyboard.
Kodi runs with me on a nvidia shield under android tv, an external Bluetooth keyboard (ec technology, a40-bt002) is connected (but also ne logitech k280e via usb, same result) and delivers thanks to extended keyboard helper app on all apps on the shield(As file explorer, systemkeyboard input, mx-player, youtube, Google Play Store, DS video Synology, etc.) all German special characters like öäü € ° § but also many international special characters.

All apps is not quite correct: at Kodi (which otherwise runs on the shield really great and can be adapted very well to the needs of less technically oriented users), the keyboard does not öäü or ÖÄÜ. ß is available, also the assignment of the German keyboard with y and z as well as special characters such as # + -_ <> are accessible according to the keyboard layout.

In the language settings of kodi I have configured language = german, region = germany, character set = standard and tataturbelegung = quertz.
Almost arbitrary combinations of region, character set and key assignment I tried unsuccessfully: thumbdown:

The keymapping addon does not help

I have tried with the extended keyboard helper many unicode keyboard codes, a large number of international special characters is displayed with all other apps, but not with kodi

Also the Cyrillic ü (0x04f1) in the unicode character set is not displayed

I also experimented with double token unicode, no result

The umlauts can be entered via the virtual keypad, and üäö & Co is also available via the "kore" remote control app.

The problem was discussed in another thread, but not followed up

I have searched here and in other forums diligently, some to umlaut and keyboard problems, but there was no suitable tip.

Has anyone found a solution for the problem? So far, i would assume that this problem is not to be solved by configuration, there could be need of developmental bugfixing.
