I've always used themoviedb.com since XBMC defaults to it. The recently I saw a user tell someone to switch to imdb. Is imdb better than themoveidborg?

Its a matter of personal preference and the results are what a user expects from either service.
I use themoviedb not because its default but because it yields great results and I get good posters and fanart.
Idk what the status of imdb is when it comes to fanart but I would guess is none.

You mean you think there is no fanart with imdb? That's good to know if it's true.
BTW, I just did a fresh install of Frodo and installed my Frodo sources. I used IMDB as my scraper as a test and I do in fact see fanart for all the movies scrapes so far.

Well I dont use imdb as my previous post states, and the fanart comment was a guess.
So it would come to a matter of personal preference and the results are what a user expects from either service
I'm very happy with themoviedb and because the results are great I'm not about to change, but I guess you can try and see for yourself and make a informed decision.

I found it in Frodo and it works really nicely, thanks.
