Artwork and metadata
Turn a folder of files into a library with posters and descriptions.
Where artwork comes from
Posters, logos, banners, backdrops and descriptions arrive through catalog addons rather than being built into the app. EverythingBox ships with a catalog addon covering all eight kinds of media: films, shows, games, music, audiobooks, books, comics and manga.
Adding your keys
Those catalog services require your own API keys, which are free to obtain. Open the addon’s configuration screen and paste them in. Until you do, the app works fine — you simply see filenames instead of artwork.
Your keys are stored in the app’s own configuration and are never sent anywhere except to the service they belong to.
Matching
Once keys are in place the app matches your local files against catalog entries. A matched item gains its artwork, description, and season or track structure, while continuing to play the file on your own disk. A series expands to its seasons and then to individual episodes, each with its own still; an album expands to its tracks.
