Selecting Alternate Movie Posters

I've been trawling around online and through the site as much as i can but I can't seem to find if this is an option anywhere.

 

Let's take the movie "Aliens" as an example - I should also point out that this happens in Kodi as well.

 

The default image it pulls from themoviedb.org is this ..

but if you look at the entry for Aliens, it has 94 different posters to choose from and the one i particularly want is this ..

.. largely because it's the actual "proper" movie poster.

 

Now the only way i can see to actually make this change is if i manually download the new jpg for this poster and use the 'edit images' feature on each movie to add the image and replace the primary poster.

 

Is there an option that i could use that will display all of the alternate posters so that i could just click on the one I want ?

 

Plex and Kodi have the ability, albeit implemented in a different way.

When you click edit images and select Primary, you have a source drop down for providers or you can click the navigation arrows to go to the next page of images.

aha, i see it now :)

 

well i clicked the search magnifying glass on the image and it did indeed throw up all of the alternatives.   probably the one thing i didn't look at last night when i was trying to find out how to do it.

 

Thankyou.
