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

Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
