I'm trying to get my BBC Life collection scanned into my movie database.

This is the path structure for the "Birds" one:

smb://10.1.14.10/Films/BBC Life - Birds/Life_E05_BluRay_BBC_1080p_x264_NL.mkv

tMDB page for this movie: http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/29839

XBMC Debug log: http://pastebin.com/vTEU2aG4

There seem to be poster & fanart links in the XML file that the tMDB API provides but none of the images on tMBD looks like the one XBMC is using for the cover.

Here are 2 screenshots:

I seem to get the right info (plot etc) but not the cover & fanart.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm thinking that's a TV Show, as such XBMC would scrape thetvdb.com ?

It's on themoviedb.org as 10 different movies, so that should work. I also set the use of folder name for search in the scraper options so the file name should not be breaking anything. Also It finds the movie info on tMDB but just does not load the cover & fanart...

OK I've installed XBMC on my windows desktop, clean install. I've added a source with the movies XBMC tMDb scraper can't find any posters & fanart for. This is the log:

It's not just the BBC movies that won't work properly, its also few other movies like these that are complete on tMDb but I can't seem to get any fanart or posters for:

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/35209

Here are 3 new screenshots:

I noticed that all the movies that I have this problem with have some non-English content on tMDb (see changelog for the movie on tMDB), could this be the problem?

Found the problem, when the scraper is configured to get rating from IMDB but the movie on tMDb has no IMDB ID the fanart & posters are broken.
