Fanart/Banners and Language Settings (1 Viewer)

[sjcato]

In addition to a large number of series in English, I have a few in other languages that I watch using subs (e.g. Braquo, Carlos). However, the banners and fanart for these series do not show up in MP TV Series. It appears that all of these graphics have an associated language in TheTVDB, even the ones totally devoid of any words, and so I do not see any fanart or banners marked as say French.

Does anybody know a workaround for this problem - I'm sure it makes no sense to add a lot of duplicate pictures to the db just labelled with different languages.

Thanks

Not quite following what you are asking for.

TheTVdB shows the same images for all the different languages, and you can use the image selector/cycle methods of MP-TVSeries to pick a different one.

English = Braquo: Series Info
French = Braquo: Series Info

My show ID for Braquo is 118451 and the text is in English so I have added the appropriate one. However, there are no banners to select. When I look at the English page for Braquo I see three banners, but if I click on each one to reveal details, it tells me that the language is French. Likewise the fan art. However, the Poster has language set to 'N/A' and I see that. This would seem logical - if you look on the (English) CSI page there is a French banner labelled 'Les Experts'. The same banners, fanart and posters appear on the shows page in all languages, but TV Series only appears to download the ones labelled for your language or no language. Unfortunately many fan art pictures that are pure graphics have languages associated, and a similar thing when there is no need to translate a title in the banner. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but that is how it looks to work, and changing the metadata of the images is not easy.

Thanks for the help.
