Since about 3 Months my MediaPortal is downloading wrong Backdrops of Movies!
I have already reinstalled my Windows 7 Installed the new MP. 1.2 and today also 1.2.1.
But the problems are still there.
Some Movies will be fetched correct in the list and have correct Covers and Backdrops!
Other Movies will be fetched as for exaple : IMDB - 300 oder IMDB- Transformers ...
other Movies get the format The Hills have Eyes / The Hills have Eyes and don't the right Cover and Backdrops!
After a Secound try to import the movie it sometimes happens that the movie will be imported correct (on 30% of the movies it helps)
When the movie wont be imported correct -> Alwas the same wrong cover of some arabic guy with a phonenumber in it

When the movie is imported correct but the Backdrops are broke -> Alwas the same wrong backdrop of an UFC Fight

i woundered about this problems because as is started to use mp 1.1.3 i did't saw the problems in the first import of about 300 Films and everything worked well for about 3 months or so !

Doodle / when you have the problems is your MP also loading the "same" wrong covers and backdrops or are this other images?!

    You have the following choices:

    1. Wait for MovingPictures update
    2. Update to the latest imdb.com scraper, which will remove the prefix but movies get sorted wrong (see #1)
    3. Switch to TheMovieDb scraper
    4. Install the IMDb+ scraper, so you get English titles on foreign movies and ability to group movies together that are part of a series. All your James Bond, Star Wars, Matrix, etc movies are all grouped together in the correct order then.

    wow and i thought i was the only one with this problems!

    Your scraper is using very bad info, it is matching the movie with some 2004 version and failing to provide a proper IMDb tt-ID reference. This then freaks out the part that ends up getting the artwork. Look into updating the scraper, or use an alternative. In your German case, you might be interested in the German FilmInfo+ scraper.
