Cover art and more than 1 movie with the same name (1 Viewer)

[whatisk]

Hi,

I've tried doing a search but didn't have much luck so here goes.

If I had 2 movies of the same name, but different years of production (remakes for example), is there a way to only have the correct cover images for each movie. I'm guessing that if it uses IMPAwards (for example) to get the covers, it is perhaps only checking the movie and not also the year?...

For example, currently I have Robin Hood - both the Disney animated one and the recent Russell Crowe one. What happens is that both movies get the same set of covers downloaded which contains images for the older as well as the more recent movie.
I have gone into Moving Pictures configuration and deleted the incorrect cover images in each movie, but after a time, the covers seem to redownload again and I'm back to how things were.

Once I remove covers from a movie that I don't want, is it possible to prevent the download of the cover pictures again?

Thanks.

Not possible atm. You can rename and add the picture manually or wait for Issue 268 - moving-pictures - Incorrect Cover-art with two different movies with same name - Project Hosting on Google Code

There is a way as I do it, but it's not the best as you don't get any images for one of the films. Just change it in the organizer to have an unknown name (add the year to the title or something like that e.g. "This Movie Title" and "This Movie Title (1845)"). This will not then find the film and subsequentlly won't download any images for that film. As a result, you can tehn add your own by browning locally rather than through the internet.
