Kodi Community Forum

Another nice feature from EMBER I miss in TMM is the ability to add images (poster, fanart,...) not only from a local source but also from the web.

I'll add this to our TODOs.
Seems reasonable and not to complicated
thx

will be in 2.6.5

cool

I have the opposite problem...I would like to get the local url inside the .NFO, something like this using the automatic scraper:

<tagline></tagline>
<thumb>film.jpg</thumb>
<fanart>film-fanart.jpg</fanart>

not like this:

<tagline></tagline>
<thumb>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/sVvujQgZDLtt1VuW91CQPmJgmmT.jpg</thumb>
<fanart>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/nI6Mw0QDAqSpJP0c4dJuUC7O6aQ.jpg</fanart>

is it possible?

Thanks ;-)

what for?
which tool reads this type of information?
XBMC/Kodi/MC uses always the fixed name if missing, so there is simply no need for this.......?

Hi myron, I am using Kodi last version Kodi 14.0 Helix Unwinds.

I did some tests...:-)

I think that there is something wrong with Kodi because if the thumb's url is missing from the NFO file Kodi doesn't scrape the image in the folder, whereas regarding the fanart Kodi works correctly (please see the image). I have taken three screenshots:

The first one is with the tmd's url and all work correctly.

The second one is without the urls and only the fanart works.

In the third one I wrote the thumb's name and it works.


Thanks for any advice ;-)

Ok. I figured out....adding the suffix "poster" to the filename (superman-poster.jpg) Kodi scrapes correctly ;-)
