Title: Can't download cover art
Post by: Arishem on November 15, 2015, 05:24:39 am
Hi,

I have an issue downloading cover art for my TV Shows.  

I performed a Select All, Cover Art -> Get from Internet.

This had about a 50% success rate.  Many TV shows have not found the cover art e.g. The Walking Dead.  MC appears to recognize the show as the episodes have actor and broadcast dates attached to them.  When I click on The Walking Dead -> Cover Art -> Get from internet, the pop up appears with a very quick set of messages Your Library - No Cover Art against the show and each season (it takes less than a second to return the result - don't see any signs of a search).

Any suggestions?  I was looking for a way to prompt with a TVDB series number or something similar.

If you can find the Cover Art at TVDB http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=153021&seasonid=280441&lid=7  or elsewhere, you can just save the jpg Season Banner file to your Cover Art folder then use the Cover Art tool "Get From File" to link to (add) it.

Do you want Series or Season cover art?  Or are you looking for individual Episode art?  You get episode art through the Get Movie and TV Info menu item.

Thanks for your reply guys.  I am after both Series and Season cover art.  I know I can provide a link or manually download, however it's about 30 shows and a lot of seasons - I thought perhaps I was missing something as it worked for some shows but not others (auto download from TVDB).

I think the Select All, is a bit to much.. I download my series and most the time, Run auto import, does it very well. I only have for the moment problems
with TMDB for movie covers/info.
