Same here: some of the accented movie titles get fanart now, after refreshing in library, but not all. Weird part is, some don't even have accented or unusual characters:

¡Three Amigos! (granted there's an upsidedown exclamation mark):

Gridlock'd (an apostrophe, but other movies that have one do work):

The Woodsman and Bernie (nothing unusual there!):

I know for a fact these all had fanart before the moviedb changes that inspired this little thread Wink

Debug log needed? And if so, what do I need to do in XBMC to be helpful?

no, you're right. not even the site can display them: http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/8388/backdrops

more examples:

The issue with those movies is slightly different. It's fallout from movies whose name changed before I applied the fix. There's a thread on the TMDb forums about those movies, if you find more just let me know but for now, I've applied the fix for the ones mentioned above (remember, 24 hours or so until the API will update).

Well, Bernie, Gridlock'd and The Woodsman still don't work for me, even after refresh. Three Amigos does now.

Hey WeirdH,

All of those movies are returning the proper poster and backdrops in the API. I just confirmed. Not really sure what the deal is.

For any future image issues (where the website isn't displaying them properly) feel free to just mention them here:
