Incorrect Cover Art

Hi, just wondering if it is possible to re-search or manually change the cover art for a movie. A few of my movies have the cover art for a different language.

Only since the metadata re-download when upgrading to 1.0.1.

Thanks.

They were probably added the the online database recently and used when 1.0 updated all metadata. Can you see the cover art on themoviedb.org? What is the movie URL there?

I have a similar problem. Serviio is loading movies covers in different language. For example, I have Bourne Identity and Bourne Supramacy movies. Bourne Identity has its cover in corrent (English) language, but Bourne Supremacy has its cover in Hungarian language. When I look at themoviedb for both movies, they have covers in english. Everything in serviio is set into English. Movies files on file system are named exactly as on themoviedb. Metadata rescan doesnt help, the covers are again in wrong language. Bourne Supramacy is not the only case of this, its just an example.

That's weird, mine gets the right for Bourne Supremacy.

Do you have English as the metadata language selected in the console?

And can you try this URL: http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.get ... 2494c/2502

It lists a list ofposter, try the first one - it should be in English.

I have the same problem, and I definitely have the preferred language set to "English".
I have noticed these in the log, which looks odd:
  Code:
2012-08-22 09:22:39,565 INFO  [LibraryAdditionsCheckerThread] Added file 'Wall-E [2008].mkv' (title: WALL·E) to Library
2012-08-25 08:04:49,011 INFO  [LibraryUpdatesCheckerThread] Updated 'Les Fous du Volant Volume 1' (/shared_data/video/cartoons/Wacky Races.avi) in Library
2012-08-25 08:14:25,461 INFO  [LibraryUpdatesCheckerThread] Updated 'Star Wars: Clone Wars - Volume One' (/shared_data2/video/films/Star.Wars.Clone.Wars.Volume.two (2005).mkv) in Library

The first 2 look like they've picked up a different language. The 3rd one looks like the volume has been skipped as it's picked up Vol1 instead of vol2.


I Have another issue too where it's misinterpreting this film name as an episode:
  Code:
2012-08-25 08:21:58,615 WARN  [OnlineVideoSourcesMetadataExtractor] Online metadata search returned no results for file 11-11-11 [2011].avi [VideoDescription [type=EPISODE, names=[11, films], year=2011, season=11, episode=11]]

How do I fix this?

Hmmm, it appears my 'coverart' problems came from having "Use original title" selected. De-selecting that means I get the English covers now :D.

Thanks, I will double check anyway.

Sorry to dig up this old post,
Yet I have the exact same issue as lubofm.

Some movie coverart (thumbnails) are loaded in the wrong language.
My default is set to English, yet some of the coverart is in hungarian or hebrew.
When the movies are "discovered" by serviio they are displayed with an english title,
yet the coverart is in another language.
My Serviio is the latest version and a fresh install, no upgrade.

Rescanning or toggling the meta-language doesn't seem to have much effect.

Anyone have any ideas?

Kind regards.

I am having this issue as well for a few movies (The Bourne movies, as someone else had indicated) and Raiders of the Lost Ark. I renamed it from "Raider of the Lost Ark" to "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" (which was on themoviedb.org, and now I'm getting some weird cover art--the other metadata is fine (actors, description, etc)--just the cover art.

Is there any way to manually specify cover art for a few specific titles that seem to get picked up wrong?

You can store a local folder.jpg file with the cover and it'll be used instead.

What API version is Serviio using to query TMDB? Seeing the testlink to TMDB in this thread I guess Serviio uses 2.1.
Image-language support was only introduced in version 3 I think.
If Serviio uses V2.1 (which is one version down from V3), that would explain the images being in the wrong language sometimes.
The getImages() function on V2.1 returns the images in order of popularity over all languages.
The only solution to this would be to upgrade the TMDB wrapper in serviio.

Any idea if that's something that's in the pipeline?

I'll upgrade but it's not a priority atm, apparently 2.1 will stay active for a while.
