Only scrape missing Artworks

Since version 1.9.0.3 beta 11 you can only scrape the missing media (artworks) by checking Without Artwork only in the Scrape Options tab. Only the missing media (artworks), checked in the Images options tab will be recovered.
In the scrape engines, only these missing media (artworks) will be presented and selectable.

The purpose of this video is to complete your collection by searching and recovering missing artworks using the different scrape engines offer by ARRM.

In the first part of the video I will show you how to grab missing artworks. In the last part, I will show you how to delete unwanted artworks for the selected game and search for new ones It is possible to scrape all or part of the textual information without touching the existing images.
