TMDB Movie Scraper - Doesn't load graphics for certain movie collections - kingrattus - 2023-11-12

Hi all,

I'm using KODI V20.2.

The TMDB Movie Scraper is unable to load graphics / images for these movie collections
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/131-trois-couleurs-collection
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/1205941-trilogia-dell-uomo-senza-nome

I tried it both with scraping language German and English.

Until yesterday, all was fine. But since I moved some stuff on my HDDs around, I removed this movie collection from my library and re-added it.

Since then, no images appear for the movie collection. But posters, fanart etc. for each of the 3 movies appear just fine.

Any ideas why the images for the movie collection itself don't load properly?

Is it just this movie collection or all movie collections?
I tested and only received the clearlogo image. The TMDB API does not seem to be returning any image links.

@rmrector might be able to see what the problem is. Maybe a change at TMDB?

It's just this movie collection.

I have also this movie collection and all images load just fine!

Just a quick update from my side.

Using the TMDB Movie Scraper, I get images for all these movie collections:
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/123800-before-collection
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/230-the-godfather-collection
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/9888-home-alone-collection
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/10194-toy-story-collection
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/264-back-to-the-future-collection

But I don't receive images for these movie collections
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/131-trois-couleurs-collection (as mentioned in my original post)
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/1205941-trilogia-dell-uomo-senza-nome (I just found out about that one)

@rmrector & @Karellen Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Still waiting on @rmrector. He hasn't been around for a couple of weeks, so hopefully will log in soon.

The only thing in common with those two failed collections is that they are non-english collections. I guess there is a language problem during the scrape.

In the meantime, it's best if you save the artwork locally before scraping the movies into the library.

Good oberservation – those two failed movie collections are indeed non-english.

Thanks for your tip about saving the artwork locally Smile

Just remember to use the Movie Set Information Folder for set artwork... https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_set_information_folder

Thanks for the tip to use the Movie Set Information Folder Smile

Surprisingly, I received all posters when re-adding this movie collection after I uploaded two German posters on TMDB:
