Problem TMDB Backdrop (1 Viewer)

[loris841]

Hi, i've a problem with scraping backdrops from TMDB.

Usually all films backdrop are correctly scraped when it is present in database, but there are often films that don't work.

Example is Visitors (V)

In Moving Pictures is correctly scraped with mymovies script but backdrops are not downloaded from TMDB. Why?

Only for some films there is problem...

Same problem with 0.7.5 and 1.0 RC2...

Thank you for help.

The problem is that your IMDb-ID tt.... number doesn't match the IMDb-ID tt.... info at TheMovieDb.

As per IMDb website:

• V (1983, TV-Movie, 2-part mini-series) = tt0085106
• V: The Final Battle (1984, TV-Movie, 3-part mini-series) = tt0086823
• V (1984, actual TV Series, 19 episodes) = tt0086822
• V (2009, actual TV Series) = tt1307824

You marked your movie as 'tt0086822', which is wrong, as you should have picked tt0085106.

Since "V" is a combination of mini-series and actual TV-Series, it actually works a lot better on MP-TVSeries.

The 1983 TV-movie is seen as season 1, episodes 1+2, the 1984 TV-movie is seen as season 1, episodes 3-5. The actual TV series that followed is season 2. So be sure to name your shows accordingly for a perfect auto-match.

I use the following filename structure:

[collapse]
"D:\TV Shows\V\V - Season 1\"

V S01E01 - The Original Mini-Series (1).avi
V S01E02 - The Original Mini-Series (2).avi
V S01E03 - The Final Battle (1).avi
V S01E04 - The Final Battle (2).avi
V S01E05 - The Final Battle (3).avi

"D:\TV Shows\V\V - Season 2\"

V; The Series S02E01 - Liberation Day.avi
V; The Series S02E02 - Dreadnought.avi
V; The Series S02E03 - Breakout.avi
V; The Series S02E04 - The Deception.avi
V; The Series S02E05 - The Sanction.avi
V; The Series S02E06 - Visitor's Choice.avi
V; The Series S02E07 - The Overlord.avi
V; The Series S02E08 - The Dissident.avi
V; The Series S02E09 - Reflections In Terror.avi
V; The Series S02E10 - The Conversion.avi
V; The Series S02E11 - The Hero.avi
V; The Series S02E12 - The Betrayal.avi
V; The Series S02E13 - The Rescue.avi
V; The Series S02E14 - The Champion.avi
V; The Series S02E15 - The Wildcats.avi
V; The Series S02E16 - The Littlest Dragon.avi
V; The Series S02E17 - War Of Illusions.avi
V; The Series S02E18 - The Secret Underground.avi
V; The Series S02E19 - The Return.avi

Then I have a seperate folder "V (2009)" for the remake, which will finally resume March 30th, 2009.[/collapse]

Enjoy.
