NextPVR not retrieving program screenshot

[happyuser]

Hi,

What site does NextPVR use to get program screenshot? The site can't find screenshot/info of some basic and well known program like CNN shows and Food Network shows (see attached).

Is it possible to use TheTVDB (Plex uses this service) to get program/shows info?

Thanks

If you used Schedules Direct you would have art for that show.  Plex EPG probably does TMS data like SD

NextPVR does use theTVDB  can you find CNN Newroom with Brooke Baldwin there?

It also uses TheMovieDB and some that fail quite a bit.

Thanks for the response Martin! It looks like TheTVDB does not have info for CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin (surprised this is missing). But it does have data for Diners, Drive-ins and Dives which is also missing poster in my Recordings. I checked the spelling in my EPG and it matches the entry in TheTVDB. Man v Food is another show missing poster.

Maybe sub will give us a dropdown where we can enter TheTVDB Series ID for a show? Or do what Plex does and let us enter a search term and manually associate the recorded show/current show with one of the returned search results.

NextPVR.exe already lets you do this to some extent but it isn't working correctly in web client.

Frankly spend a cup of coffee a month and save yourself the time and easy meta data.

Pretty new to IPTV so still learning things. Going to look at SD now. Thanks!
