Killervette 5 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Is there a way to specify a standard poster image if the tv series is not found by the scrapers? Inside of having a blank box in MBC, it could show the default poster image. Thanks 1
Luke 42077 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 maybe it would be better to figure out why the image wasn't downloaded?
Killervette 5 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 maybe it would be better to figure out why the image wasn't downloaded? Because its a one time show that is not in the databases. Also, its from my media center recorded tv that is commerical skipped and renamed. Sometimes the season doesnt get pulled out correctly. for example, dr phil (my wifes show, honest) doesnt get processed correctly.
Luke 42077 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm not sure if mbc has a setting for that or not, but you can always go to the web client and assign your own image and it will apply to all clients.
Koleckai Silvestri 1154 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Could pull one of these images and assign it to the show: https://www.google.com/search?q=dr+phil+show&safe=off&espv=210&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5iTcUveqBIffoAS4zIHQAQ&ved=0CAwQ_AUoBA&biw=1600&bih=742#imgdii=_ If you give it the TV Database ID of 71424 then it should pull images from here: http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=71424&lid=7 Edited January 19, 2014 by Wayne Luke
Killervette 5 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Not exactly what i meant. I dont want to have to manually add images. its not just doctor phil. there are lots of shows that done get pulled right from my recorded tv conversion. i was just hoping there was a way to set a default poster image to fail over to if a poster is not found.
Koleckai Silvestri 1154 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) There are not default images applied if the system can't pull one. I've had to go find images for many of my shows as well. Mostly Anime series though. The fix over time would be for the server to recognize recorded TV better. Edited January 22, 2014 by Wayne Luke
