Message: <blockquote data-quote="ltfearme" data-source="post: 1199164" data-attributes="member: 52219">I have updated the plugin in preparation for the 31st Oct where images will be removed from the trakt API.I have gone with themoviedb.org as the provider of all images (show, season, episode, movie and people), I could add other providers down the track but I feel its best to keep things as simple as possible and less dependent on other sites, after all this plugin is about trakt.tv.I added localised support, so you will be able to enter the configuration and select your preferred language, it defaults to English. It will fallback to English if no image is found in your preferred language.Another bonus added is for episode screenshots (including calendar), I will not request images when the air date is greater than today, this is cool to prevent spoilers and also less likely to get request errors from tmdb because the reference does not exist. Instead, I use the tv shows thumb with logo if it exists. All requests I make to themoviedb.org are cached, so if you enter the plugin and that image has already been requested it will reload the response locally and find the correct artwork on disk. I have made the cache configurable, although haven't exposed it anywhere, you will need to manually change it MediaPortal.xml.Artwork also comes in difference sizes, I made it configurable but not exposed it in the GUI because the skin assumes certain sizes e.g. the rating, library, watchlist and seen overlays are positioned basis co-ordinates defined in the skin settings when creating the new images in memory. Im going to try put some code in place which detects the old dimensions used in each skins settings file and convert to ones which are compatible. Hopefully skinners will not need to do anything, but if you do notice the overlay icons in the wrong position or not correct size its definitely because the image size is different, so be warned if you decide to manually change the preferred image widths I pull down.When you first upgrade to the new release, I delete all the existing artwork previously downloaded. So if you want to keep that for any reason, I suggest you start making a backup now.I will try get a test build out tomorrow before I release.On an unrelated note, but related to the release. I added something quickly to prevent my children jumping to tv shows and movingpictures from trakt windows when the movie was a certain MPAA rating. Technically movingpictures should not allow the movie details window or movie playback if not permitted by its parental control filter. Trakt was able to workaround that feature, so I added its own parental control feature. Skins can add the same pin code dialog as TVS/MovPics but with a different ID (see included Titan skin for reference).</blockquote>
