I can read on the bottom left that it is downloading images (movies), but it is not displaying any images and does not save even if you select one.
thanks
Yes on my side was the same problem.
It is not due to MC but to the API Connection to fanart.tv
On some days it runs very slowly or not at all, and sometimes wonderful. I think it always depends on the capacity of the fanart.tv server.
The Fanart.tv servers cost more than they can restore through donations.

Any intensive Fanart.tv user will have their own API anyway.
I'm technically under-resourced, but do you think it would make a difference if you use your own Fanart.tv API in MC?
Would it be less failure or would it generally be faster?
In general, fanart.tv often has more API accesses than the infrastructure actually envisages.

As far as I know, users who have an account/own API or are VIP member or Donator are ranked in API traffic. It could also relieve the public API something if you use your own.
I know technically too little about whether it makes sense to use your own API and if it would also really benefit fanart.tv if the public API is relieved. Maybe you know more about it.
