I'm one of the crazies that is hanging on to the DSPlayer version. :-)
To make sure that it wasn't DSPlayer messing things up (it shouldn't but you never know), I tested and posted log with a new install in portable mode.
As I mentioned, I solved this specific case with parsing nfo but it might be interesting to check for the developer of the scraper. Maybe this specific case is solved in 19 (I actually tested that and I confirm even from my end) but there could be an underlying larger issue, I don't know.

I understand that remaining with an older build can lead to problems so I'm not complaining. Just reporting. :-)

Kodi 18.9 - I was getting artwork with my initial setup, but at some point TheMovieDB - TV Show scraper stopped providing artwork. LOG The problem exists for all shows, but the show I scraped for the log files was "Cracker" 1993. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/35-cracker

@simonmoon

You did not enable Debug Mode so there is nothing to see. Can you try again?

Sorry, I have enable logging. Kodi 18.9 - I was getting artwork with my initial setup, but at some point TheMovieDB - TV Show scraper stopped providing artwork.

No problems.
Yes, it looks like no images are returned.

Can you swap over to the Python scraper (no. 4) and try again... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=363391
Do you get artwork now?

simonmoon · 2022-01-17, 04:26

Yes. That does provide artwork. Thanks.

Great.
I'll test the scraper a bit later when I get home and see if I can replicate the issue.

simonmoon · 2022-01-19, 01:13

Was the art work issue abled to be replicated, or is there something about my system or network causing it ?

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about it when I got home.

I just scraped the show and had problems with artwork also. All I got was episode thumbs, actors images and a landscape.jpg. Nothing else, so I can confirm the issue. I guess something changed at TMDB in the last few days.

Maybe @olympia can check?

https://paste.kodi.tv/osoyenolar.kodi

@olympia it looks like path to images has changed.

https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/5Wie9azZPDbpr...MNsaSZ.jpg is what is currently used
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/5Wie...MNsaSZ.jpg is where the artwork actually is

**olympia** · 2022-01-19, 12:26

Hopefully I've got that fixed. Please try with v3.5.14 of the scraper.

Hi olympia. Thanks for the fix.

I tested the show mentioned by the member, along with three other shows, and all artwork was scraped correctly.

I could not see any changes at TMDB recently with artwork. Do you know why this suddenly popped up?
Hopefully its not a case where artwork for some shows is at one path, and other shows at the other path.

Hi Karellen, this was actually not a path issue/ change. XML scraper broke for the good old reason: the API response layout has changed in a way that the regexp based search couldn't handle (while there is no harm on the json parsing of the Python scrapers). So I had to adjust the regexp according to the new layout.

Hi all, for reasons of order I have reorganized my libraries. unfortunately many series no longer have artwork.

We need a Debug Log that captures the problem.
Are you using nfo files?

Freitag73 · 2022-05-22, 22:51

No, no nfo files.
