[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 894013, member: 18896"] Nope sorry, IMDb.com website does not provide fanart (unless I've missed some amazing new expansion). The IMDb+ plugin will check if IMDb+ scraper-script is 1st/primary on details-node, so that it is 'the' script used to get the textual information. During installation it does this, but everytime you open the IMDb+ plugin configuration it verifies position as well and then gives dialog if you want to adjust position (incase you have a valid reason for not wanting it in 1st position). For the cover-node however it places itself in 2nd position to obtain cover images. TheMovieDb is much better suited for higher quality art that is updated by a larger user community, versus mainly theaterical posters or screenshots-turned-poster at IMDb website. However if TheMovieDb has nothing for the movie you are added, whatever artwork IMDb can provide is still better then nothing (hence the 2nd position). For modern releases however the cover-art that IMDb provides is of high quality for Hollywood releases, but it usually starts with theaterical posters and is not always updated to optical-medium released coverarts. But for fanart-node you are stuck with TheMovieDb as its the only reliable source to get backdrops from based on an IMDb tt-ID search. [/QUOTE]
