Additional image fetcher options


Recommended Posts

Hello

I‘d love to see these options being added for fan art scrapers:

Language: the country of the individual movies origin (turkey, israel, USA…)

 

fallback to „all languages“ if there‘s no result for the selected countries option.

what do you think?

i generally prefer original countries fan art to see the original title of the movie (in addition to the one displayed as the movie title)

We do already have an image language option.

Not sure whether you misread or whether I didn’t articulate good.

I asked for an option to select (instead of a language) choosing the country of the corresponding movie. 
So for example it you scrape “The Boat” you’ll get a german fan art probably showing “Das Boot” in its picture because it is a German movie.

 

In addition to this an option to fallback to “all languages”. So if the scraper can’t find a German picture it shows for American pictures (which probably shows “The Boat” in its picture.

Yeah, an "also include language of film" option on the scraper would be nice. Some foreign films don't have English artwork at all.

I'm a bit confused, or I don't quite get your request, isn't there a toggle already for "All languages" in Search image window by which you can select desired artwork in any language of choice?

yes and this toggle I'd globally want to enable as fallback.

So check for selected language first -> if not available, check for all languages.

In current state if you do not enable the "all languages" selector and there's nothing available for the selected language, the movie doesn't get an art work. So if you scrape like me a bunch of less popular movies, you have to check each movie for artwork manually and manually add images via the "all languages" selector...
