Title: Not Retrieving Series and Season Cover Art for "Where's Wanda?"
Post by: elprice7345 on October 24, 2024, 01:42:54 am

MC isn't retrieving series and season cover art for the series "Where's Wanda?".

The series and cover art are at: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/234310-where-s-wanda (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/234310-where-s-wanda)

The series does not have any english or language neutral ("No language") posters, which is what it looks for, unless you also change the language you desire.

Thanks!

The "German" language posters are tagged incorrectly. They are actually in English.

I'll submit a ticket to get it fixed.

TMDB is crowdsourced, you can just login and change the language or add new posters.
I just did that - apparently the german posters are locked and the language can't be changed, so I just re-uploaded and tagged them as EN language.

Thanks!

I also submitted a request to have the "German" season posters to be corrected

So, I still have a problem. From TMDB:

Quote

Posters that only include the original title of the series should be listed as being from the original language of the series.

Even if the title is in English, this is the German original title of the series.

The changes made by @zybex have already been removed.

How do we handle this? For now, MC won't find the series or season posters, because they don't exist in English.

Could the "Get from Internet" lookup process be augmented to allow a user to select posters from a different language if posters for the requested language doesn't exist?

You can drop the poster JPG in MC's Cover Art folders, it just needs to have the same name as the Season:

Where's Wanda.jpg -> %appdata%\J River\Media Center 33\Cover Art\Series
Where's Wanda - Season 1.jpg -> %appdata%\Roaming\J River\Media Center 33\Cover Art\Seasons

You can get the poster from TMDB:

https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/cxph0i8fhjVQ56ZEFQPDjMp1HY2.jpg

Maybe the "Get From Internet" poster dialog could also allow a Paste Image/URL. You can already paste a poster, but it seems it's only applied to the Season, not the Series.

Thanks @zybex!

I'm OK with the manual workaround, because this is the first and only time I've experienced it.

I was hoping there might be a more elegant solution.  ;)
