Default poster image for items not found?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

Could pull one of these images and assign it to the show:

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

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.

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.
