What does "Primary" mean in this context? Does that mean someone from TMDB has specifically chosen a poster that has its own preference beyond just using votes?

Must be something new on the site, never noticed it before, but if you go to the link in my OP, you'll see that the #1 poster says primary and has a green check mark. Then go look at other movies, some say primary, some don't.

So, anyone else have this issue?
I was clicking through my collection updating manually, until I realized how many posters were the wrong ratio/size and how long it was taking. Normally if I have to rescrape the collection (1,100 files more or less) I have about 15 to change... way way more than that this time.

Not sure. However, I'll move this to the General OS forum to get more attention.

Interesting...never saw that 'primary' thing on that site and noticed, that it is not there for any language for this movie. In german there is no 'primary' note

I think this is a new feature of this site and maybe not documented in their API documentation. So I think, this won't ever be fixed for Kodi Helix, because there have to be done some changes to the scraper. Maybe it will be fixed in Isengard...
What does the devs say?
Maybe it would be better to open a ticket for that. It's not a bug if TMDB changes something which Team Kodi can't know off...but I guess it will get much more attention if it would be reported at trac

Well, I know there are a few movies that have it and scraped incorrectly, like Avatar and Boogie Nights... top of my head. I'll have to click through the library later and find some more. It seems random... not based on year/popularity of the movie for what has that 'primary' designation.

Yip it did it for Avatar as well - don't have Boogie Nights so can't check that one - seems really random.

Ya it's weird... I do a lot of adding artwork and voting on that TMDB site, so, when I see a poster in my collection the wrong shape or just crappy, I always login and vote... that's the only reason I noticed it. Power outtage on the weekend messed up my system so had to backup files and format C:\ and start over. Figured rescrape vs restore from backup, that's when I saw it... may have been this way for months... no idea.

Thanks Travis - hoped you'd see this and respond.
One question though - who decides what the primary image is? wasn't that the whole idea of having a ratings system.

I always wanted to see something like this happen. Some older art is the incorrect 2:3 ratio and looks bad when flipping through the movie list, but, image so old its been voted on so many times and no way to knock it down the list.
Figured best way would be to make the highest rated 2:3 image the primary... May not be the best but at least the image is the right dimensions.
