Shows linked to TVDB showing image from xmltv file not TVDB image

[OTAjunkie]

Hi alibert,

I've got TVListings + Xmlextras and use the donator version of MC2XML (includes image URL).
I could swear there was a time when I could get the image from a TVDB linked show to appear and the image for a non-linked show (from xmltv.xml) to appear. But for several months the xmltv images hadn't been showing up, only images from TVDB linked shows. So I screwed around and now have only the cheesey cast ensemble non-episode specific xmltv image and no TVDB show image for a linked show.
What have I messed up?

Thanks

Hi,

the log output should show which images are collected and then tried to be loaded afterwards. But from memory, an image url from xmltv should be preferred from the plugin if available.

From my NPVR log:

an image url from xmltv should be preferred from the plugin if available.

Could that preference be reversed? I would prefer the selection of ALL TVDB related data, not just the descrption if available.
The "TV Card" image is just, that general cast ensemble image but the "banners/episodes/80379/795681.jpg" is what it says, a specific to episode screen cap from the episode of the show that I've linked to TVDB for the purpose of retrieving superior information.

Hi,

I'm going to change the behaviour for the next release, so that if TVDB information id preferred in configuration, also the TVDB images are used first if available.

That's great news, Thanks
Do have a date in mind?


Not to be pushy but any chance of a "not yet watched" sort option on the horizon?

Thanks again

[OTAjunkie]

Um,,, I don't know why but now I do get the TVDB image where I ask for it and the "TV card" from my xmltv file is there filling in the blanks for shows that are not linked to TVDB.
I thought I had emptied the guide but mabey there were some clingons.


Thanks again alibert!!
