[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 955841, member: 18896"] MovPic will retrieve the artworks via cover and backdrop-nodes if you at scraper-script level in details-node properly inserted the IMDb tt-ID. So just check to make sure that there is an ID inserted. The "Movie Details" tab allows you to view this by selecting a movie and then look at the "IMDb ID" field. If one shows, then you most likely had (or have) connection issues with TheMovieDb website. This will show up in your movingpictures.log file in greater detail, but there really is not much you can do about it. The only exception being that when you import too many things at once that it can cause the problems for some users, so lowering the threads helps. This is under MovPic advanced settings and default is 5 threads. Changing this to 3 has helped a lot of users still retain a good speed on mass-importing a lot of movies, but lowering or even completly removing the timeout problems to all the websites used to obtain the info from. MovPic does retry to find missing artwork each time it launches, so eventually overtime missing artwork is found, but adjusting your settings to slow things down a bit might give a more enjoyable experience.
