Hello Guys
I could read in the forums that the Covers & Backdrops not downloading problem should be fixed in v0.7
but i still got it?
I have updated all to the newest version (MP 1.0.2 & MovingPicture 0.7.3.623) and i still have some movies it will not download covers and backdrops to..
Some danish movies called Olsen-banden går i krig... and Tiësto: Elements of Life World Tour..
I have checked themoviedb.org and the backdrops and covers are there
Someone who has an idea of what is wrong? :confused:

This completely depends on what data source (which script) you are using. Currently themoviedb.org does not have a way to query for movie details or artwork if you do not provide the IMDb ID. This is just a limitation of the website. So what is probably happening is you most likely do not have the IMDb ID for most of your movies, causing difficulties with artwork retrieval. This is not the most strait forward solution, but one option is to import everything via IMDb, then from the movie manager, select everything and click the refresh button drop down to refresh with a localized data source. This should get you all your artwork while also giving you localized content.

IMDB dosen't have the Artwork?
So how should it get it from IMDb?
The Artwork is only on themoviedb.org..

If you pull details from IMDb you will have a cooresponding IMDb ID associated with every movie. This will allow proper lookup of artwork from themoviedb.org. You can then refresh with localized movie details.
