Title: Silent mode for all plugins does not import pictures
Post by: Nautilus2067 on June 07, 2012, 07:53:39 am
Hi there,

I set the option "silent mode for all plugins" and "download all pictures". I then imported 200 movies. Very few movies have been recognized by the plugin. This is going to be another topic. And I had no pictures downloaded. Absolutely zero.
After that I downloaded the pictures by using the picture download plugin manually for every movie and it worked.

Regards,
Oliver

Amazon.com doesn't work either, so that's no surprise. As you mention, OFDb isn't even finding the movies. Hopefully, whatever that problem is can be fixed, and then it will get posters as well. I don't know if Amazon is worth fixing—unless they've improved them, their images are more like thumbnails than suitable posters. Also, you might try TMDb. It can be localized for German (see Options), and it has good posters (including German versions, but the selection for those is probably not good).

Amazon works when using it on a single movie, but not in batch mode

I will do that. Thanks
