[solved] Fanart Manager (1 Viewer)

[roedler86]

I can confirm. Reason is, that the TMDB-API key used has been revoked - I have requested a new one already, but this requires a new build of MyFilms.

Thanks for your efforts!

Hope you find the time to fix the issue...

iirc, AMCU does not use the fanarts definitions from grabber scripts, but only the internal TMDB grabbing. Script based definitions can be used within the plugin via context menu, where you can select scripts as source.

On my system I can only choose script for covers, not fanart. Is it somehow possible to choose script?

I can write a mail to Travis (founder of TMDB) - actually, I was trying to evaluate from where the key initially came - but didn't find anything - I assume, it is a key Zebons added to MyFilms long ago.

Zebons asked me for a key in feb-2009 to implement the fanart download in MF. Maybe it´s that

Yes, you're right, there is currently no script based fanart loading possible - there is some wip stuff for that, but it's not finished and thus not usable/available yet.

That's quite possible. I am still waiting for an answer from Travis from TMDB...

Any updates around this? I really miss this function...

This was really the main reason I left MyFilms some time ago to explore the alternatives. I am currently exploring workarounds to overcome this issue in order to come back to MyFilms.
My findings so far:
As I anyway maintain .nfo files with TMM (in kodi format) I discovered that the .nfo grabber in MF imports the fanart collected by TMM as long as the naming is defined correctly in TMM.

A related issue is that MF no longer imports actors photos. A workaround is that TMM saves photos in .actors directories per film. Those pictures could be copied to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MyFilms\PersonImages. Underscores in the names has to be replaced by blanks, so there is some scripting involved.

Hi and sorry, I forgot about this one. I got the answer from Travis and he told me we have to use a new API key.
Attached is a Version that contains the new TMDB API-key - please only for those who are able to take a backup of their installation an manually restore, if there are issues, as this is not an official release and has not been tested by test team.

It works!!!.

MyFilms rules again. Thank you Guzzi for your efforts and your dedication.
