Scrap artwork from TMDB for logos and thumbs

[NadineNB 9]

Hello, I have been submitting a lot of artworks to FanArt and TVDB to fill up some of the missing logos and TV thumbs as well as seasons thumbs for my video files. A lot of them have been turned down for various reasons, while TMDB accepted almost all of them. Since I'm contributing to the community on my free time, I do not have plans to proceed to the more time-consuming edits requested by FanArt and TVDB, and I'd rather like to be able to pull the approved artworks from TMDB.

Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot enjoy my own artworks contribution in Emby, since it only scraps logos and thumbs artwork from FanArt Is there any way I could have Emby pull these artworks from TMDB as well? I've tried a few solutions (Emby for Kodi, TinyMediaManager) but in the end I'd love the TMDB artwork scraper action to happen within the native interface of Emby. Please let me know!

Yes eventually images across all provides needs to be looked at as we have TVDB, TMDB, FanArt and sort of OMDB.

The issue with thumbs is the way most providers lump them as Backdrops when they technically are not.  Backdrops are textless images.

Now extra magic has to be don't to filter these language code backdrops as they have currently been removed from Emby backdrops but yet to be added as Thumb/Landscape options.

Logos are somewhat new as it was added less than a year ago.  So another plugin improvement needed for this provider.  Emby's initial query gets logos but does not record to cache and use then.

OK I've stubbed out logo support. It wasn't too difficult, but some of their sizes are huge compared to fanart.

[Happy2Play 9784]

 Yep looks like it is all over the place vs FanArt 800x310.

Wonder how problematic these will be in Emby placeholder?  Doesn't appear to be an issue.

I have a ton of logos from TMDB in various resolutions/ratios, never observed any issues within Emby.

Thank you for this insight, I had not realized it was such a recent feature, that's impressive.

Agreed, along with what GrimReaper said above, TMDB has been an incredible resource to find logos for TV shows and movies / documentaries, and I have never noticed the various sizes to look distorted or anything in Emby's UI. Emby simply seems to do some magic logo appearance scaling, and the logos always look fine.

Personally I do not mind the mix of textless images and "images with text" in the thumb artworks results at all. I have noticed such a mix in Emby ever since I started using it and to be honest, there has been a few times when I just didn't care for the thumb/landscape artwork designs that included text, even in my own native language (french). Sometimes textless thumbs look better, they might fit a "minimalistic" aesthetic approach which is good for classic movies you've seen dozens of times and you *just know* what the movie is with one look at a design element in the artwork (Shining's iconic axe). Don't they say a picture is worth a thousand words My personal opinion on this issue is: if the decision of which thumb to weed out and which thumb to keep could be left to the user from within Emby UI, it'd be ideal. I would not mind thumbs results to display the same results as a backdrop search.
