Noticed one of my movies isn't having the poster artwork returned from TMDB so enabled debug and got the following:

1) XBMC notices movie not in database so scrapes:

Quote:19:33:29 T:3060431728 M:1842192384 DEBUG: GetMovieId (/mnt/frodo/videos/movies/Pocahontas.avi), query = select idMovie from movie where idFile=35

2) XBMC uses tmdb api to search for the movies and gets a good match:

Quote:19:33:29 T:3060431728 M:1842192384 DEBUG: FileCurl::Open(0x9d4ed10) http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.sear...pocahontas
<snip>
19:33:30 T:3060431728 M:1841676288 DEBUG: scraper: GetSearchResults returned <results><entity><title>Pocahontas</title><id>10530</id><url cache="tmdb-10530.xml">http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.getInfo/en/xml/57983e31fb435df4df77afb854740ea9/10530</url></entity><entity><title>Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World</title><id>13761</id><url cache="tmdb-13761.xml">http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.getInfo/en/xml/57983e31fb435df4df77afb854740ea9/13761</url></entity></result>

3) Using the tmdb id from above XBMC does a movie.getInfo:

Quote:19:33:30 T:3060431728 M:1841676288 DEBUG: FileCurl::Open(0x9d4ed10) http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.getI...0ea9/10530

4) Detailed results are returned by tmdb which look correct:

Quote:19:33:30 T:3060431728 M:1841455104 DEBUG: scraper: GetDetails returned <details><title>Pocahontas</title><year>
<snip>

5) Now things look a bit wrong. The calls to movie.getImages are no longer using the tmdb movie id of 10530 but the imdb id of tt1119154, which obviously the tmdb api doesn't recognise:

Is my rough analysis correct or am I doing something wrong?

NOTE:
I'm running XBMC 9.11 Beta1 + (r24985 of scrapers/video/common/tmdb.xml)
Cleared my database beforehand (rm .xbmc/userdata/Databases/*.db).

Thanks,
Chris

You should probably pastebin your full log.

Here you go:

Basically you're right. The new tmdb 2.1 API supports both, the tmdb and the imdb id. For some reason one of the returned fanarts contains a wrong imdb id which was matched by the regular expression and made the image lookup fail.

Thanks for heads up and the good analysis of the Problem! Issue should be fixed in SVN r25432.

I can confirm r25432 fixes the issue for me. Thanks for the quick response
