Cover downloads from IMDB

Is it just me or have the cover image downloads from IMDB suddenly gone
lower resolution?

Maybe my last two were a bit obscure, but I feel like I've had nicer
images for much more obscure films.

Re: Cover downloads from IMDB [In reply to]

I'm getting the same problem with low resolution images, but not for
all.

I'm finding these movies retrieve low res images:
Casino
Shrek The Third
War of the Worlds

But these are fine with normal images:
Capote
V For Vendetta

I think something must have changed at IMDB. The covers I had from a few
months ago look great, the new ones are horrible. Any chance the grabber
could get them from somewhere else?

Yes another source would be good, maybe movieposter.com or something?

I just migrated to new hardware, and I thought it was something I set up
wrong. If everyone else is seeing low res images now, my bet is on IMDB
changes.

If I'm not mistaken, the grabber goes to imdb.com and then goes to the
"posters" page.

Once on that page it looks for URLs for various sites in a "preference"
order. IMDB images are the last grabbed (if the previous URLs time out).

From line 277 of my imdb.pl there's a comment:
# look for references to impawards.com posters - they are high quality

Then if it can't get a poster from that site, it tries "nexbase", then
"cinemablend", then finally imdb.com.

If all of them fail, it doesn't grab a poster.

Brian

So maybe it's the images on the first search that have changed? Is that
impawards.com?

Looks like imdb have changed their posters page layout. Just edit you
imdb.pl file (probably located in
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts) and change line 282 from...

my $impsite = parseBetween($response, "<a href=\"".$site, "\">".$site);

...to...

my $impsite = parseBetween($response, "<a href=\"".$site,
"\">\(Theatrical Movie Posters\)");


That should fix the problem.

Adding this additional line under 282 is also required for other movies...
$impsite = parseBetween($response, "<a href=\"".$site, "\">\(Internet
Movie Poster Awards") if ($impsite eq "");

...the above should be all on one line (looks like gmail is splitting
it on to two).

Fantastic Ashley, it works! Thanks so much! Just had to rm * from
~/.mythtv/MythVideo and redownload 'em, they're coming in nice and high
quality now.

Thanks!

I'm very happy that there's a fix so quickly! Thanks!

Out of interest, does anyone know how long it would take for this to
filter through into the Mythbuntu weekly fixes branch (is the clue in
the name of the branch??)? If it'll be there in a week or so, then I'll
let the updates fix it for me. If not, I'll dive in myself but I'm
scared to break something or do something that Mythbuntu doesn't expect.
Yes, I know I'm sounding like a wussy-geek, but the family is upset
every time I break Myth of a few days/weeks/months.

Damian,

Upto you, if it's not urgent just hang on until hopefully Ashley's fix has
been included, otherwise I've uploaded the imdb.pl script right from my
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts if you'd like. If you're on Ubuntu it
should go into that path or perhaps
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts. It's gotta be
"/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts" at end of path either way. Just pop the script
in there and make sure you clear youre ~/.mythtv/mythvideo/ folder of any
.jpg's (all previous posters). Then go to the video manager and try grabbing
the metadata again and check the posters, they should come in right.

Re: Cover downloads from IMDB [In reply to]

So I just found this thread, and applied the patch this morning. It did
actually fix a few problems, but it seems Transformers is still low quality
compared to the others. Anyone else seen this specific title look any
better?

Blimey they really are inconsistent with the way the poster page links
are presented.
Attached is a much better "fixed" version that should work for all
films that have www.impawards.com linked posters.

I'll update the ticket with an svn diff later today.

I've updated the patch on the ticket (imdb.pl.patchv4)
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5633

I noticed that the impawards site didn't have posters for all my
movies but MoTechPosters did.
So I've added in the grabber code for that website as well :)

Yeah I forgot to take out the +'s, my bad. That's a perfect fix I think
Ashley, I just removed about 10 posters that had still been coming in at LQ
and are now just mint and high quality. Great stuff, thanks so much!

Good idea, being that the imdb script is going to be removed soon.
Due to that I doubt that my fixes will ever get applied - shame.

Who oh why oh why do people feel the need to quote a few hundered lines of
text and then there is only 2 lines of a reply?? This thread is a prime
example. Please please trim posts. Have a look at these posts on the web
to see how ridculous it looks. It could easily be the difference between
someone responding or not.

Ah crap, that's not so good. Is there going to be any kind of replacement
method for obtaining info and posters for videos?
