Why are other language posters other than English being pulled in?

[noone]

I'm noticing that a fair amount of posters being downloaded are French or even Portugese sometimes. When I look at the YAMJ logs, I can see the main movie URL it is going to and I can see in almost every instance that the main poster is in English, so why does YAMJ grab some obscure French version rather than the one shown on the main movie page in the upper left hand corner at themoviedb.org?

I guess YAMJ is looking at the highest rated poster, which is sometimes not English.

What setting can I change so that YAMJ only looks for posters on the English tab at themoviedb.org?

It's more likely someone started uploading a lot of pictures and didn't flag them english. There are mods that check the uploads pretty close to it being sent over but with the 8 hour cdn cache, it can take awhile to be reflective of that.

yamj also tries to get the skin size or better quality if possible, and then there is a quality setting you can have (default is 75% of the skin size). That can cause certain images to be favored, which also tends to the the higher rated.

Check out 'Ides of March' over at themoviedb.org. It pulls the French poster rather than any of the 8 or so English ones available. Is there a way to have YAMJ only look for posters in the English tab? I'd rather have a slightly lower quality English poster than a French poster. (no offense to the French)

It happens to me on some files also. omertron suggested changing
hemoviedb.language=en-US to
hemoviedb.language=en

let me see what that api thinks, if it was already mod fixed it can be up to 8 hours.. give me a moment it's been awhile since I've hand done anything on the api

Yes, it's still in the api list for english:

Code:

<image type="poster" url="http://cf2.imgobject.com/t/p/w92/mCICqbwwmEjJYN57sjHTH0XG7qa.jpg" size="thumb" width="92" height="136" id="4f12fdc519c2950686000d09"/>

hmm wait the new api was rolled out a few weeks ago.. hmm what's hiding in it now

---

ok all bug fixes lately are for hte new api, the old one is about to shutdown but you can see language in it.. I'll post the yamj issue to switch..

[Omertron]

I've done the new v3 API using their JSON implementation. Just not had a chance to switch it over as yet.

I want to do that before I release a new version of YAMJ so that we can test it and ensure the bugs are ironed out as the new API does things differently to the old API and there is an opportunity to optimise some code.

Just wondered if you had any expected timeline (1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month ...) for the new revised YAMJ release?

cheers

Hi, did the suggestion work?

also - silly question, but what is the easiest way to force re-scrape for the movies that have the 'incorrect' (non-english) artwork ?

thanks

No ETA on the new API for TheMovieDB which is what will solve the issue, it's almost there.
It'll get released in to the beta snapshots first for testing and then I'll release a new official version of YAMJ.

If you don't want to download a poster, you can always put a link to the poster in a NFO file (just copy the whole HTTP:// line)
That'll force an update to the movie
