stephen_hill 35 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Sometimes an entry doesn't return results for images, or maybe only returns results from one provider. (A current example for me is the 2012 movie Prometheus - not showing results from fanart.tv) What I'm proposing is that in "Search for Images" modal, we add a search input box. When a user types in this box, it uses the keywords the user entered to search the sources for images. We should always show this input box, even if there are results. The aim of this is the allow the user to correct any problem using the Emby UI instead of having to go other website to download images.

Happy2Play 8279 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I don't follow as Emby is using actual providerids to return images. So that would mean you have wrong metadata already? If image api could be searched what would it return for Keyword "Alien"? Quote (A current example for me is the 2012 movie Prometheus - not showing results from fanart.tv) That would suggest troubleshooting with server log. There is a Language factor also. But see multiple images from FanArt in all categories. Edited October 6, 2022 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_hill 35 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 This is the metadata for the movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/ https://thetvdb.com/movies/prometheus TheMovieDB Id does appear to be incorrect. Entering the correct ID does fix the issue. Is TheMovieDB Id required for Fanart.tv to work correctly? However, I still would like to keep this feature request open because: Some collections have limited and no images/backdrops. Some collections/playlists may be manually created. In these instances, it would be really handy to be able to search sources for images from the Emby UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8279 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) @LukeThis is like the 5th example where TVDB is providing wrong/bad TMDB ids. So I am not sure if it is worth getting that exernalid from them. (Already corrected Prometheus on TVDB) 19 minutes ago, stephen_hill said: Is TheMovieDB Id required for Fanart.tv to work correctly? Yes that appears to be the query used. 19 minutes ago, stephen_hill said: Some collections have limited and no images/backdrops. Some collections/playlists may be manually created.

stephen_hill 35 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 One final example of manually created collections. I have a "Science Fiction" collection, and I manually browsed fanart.tv for images from other appropriate movies. This would have been easier from the Emby UI.
