themoviedb.org usually has many backdrops per movie. How do you make the plugin download several backdrops per movie?

Thanks

how will you do that? The api of themoviedb only returns one backdrop picture

Wow, I was coming on to suggest just this modification.

I love this plug-in, this & Tv-Series are absolutely excellent & set it apart from any other similar application.

Are there any plans to be able to 'cycle' covers & change fanart when in the MP GUI itself, in a similar fashion to TVseries? It's ok selecting them in the plug-in config, but sometimes hard to envisage what a certain cover & fanart will look like together.

BTW, just in case people dont know, you can manually download fanart & change the path in the plug-in config to change the default download to the fanart you want. It's a bit 'clunky' but if you're not happy with a particular backdrop right now then it's a solution.

i think you should now be able to just drop the fanart into the movie folder (if that is okay for you...) because of the new options since mp 0.7

Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...

Please check the wiki. I never take online sources but perform offline imports. You can use external tools for that and change all data including poster. Also the import speed is much faster + the local data are kept forever, even MP2 is removed. To overwrite only some movies you need to remove them once from the share, place an...
