Is there another backdrop source??? (1 Viewer)

[kcpent]

Just a quick question regarding backdrops (fanart)....

I was just wondering if there is another source for downloading the backdrops other than themoviedb.org?? And if so is there a scraper file or script or something to add it to mp config? There is nothing wrong with themoviedb.org scraper, its just that mp cannot find backdrops for some of my movies and it would be great to expand the search to other sites as well.

Thanks

Hunt down a backdrop from Google or Bing image search, and then add it to themoviedb.org. That way everybody else can enjoy your contribution, the same way you are enjoying the contributions of others.

You can also scan the movie for an awesome movie-unique moment and make a screenshot yourself that can act as a backdrop. This can be done easy from within VLC or MPC-HC. But you would need to have a 720p or 1080p source then to qualify for the default backdrop resolution.

PS: If on your search you (or anybody else) come across a source that has a lot of movie related wallpapers/backdrops/fanarts, which do not exist on themoviedb, then by all means suggest it. That way a scraper can be made for it.

For example Movie Wallpaper.net has a nice collection, but all of those exist on TheMovieDb website, so no sense using it.
