ImdbID to download ThemovieDB Cover

Post by mrpro »

here is what I have a folder full of imdbID.jpg's I want to use the ID's to download TheMovieDB cover art instead. I know shell script so getting the IMDB ID into a var to use with filebot is not hard, I just don't know filebot that much. Is this posible to do.

I saw this
filebot -script fn:artwork.tmdb /path/to/movies/
but that uses movie files, I just have the images to work with. Is there anything like this or a way I could use the imdbID to get the name of the movie, then use the name in the code to get the banner. ?

what I want to make is a second folder with IMDBID.jpg except they are actually themoviedb.jpg lol just called imdb because thats another story.

Can anyone help or throw me a bone.

No, certainly no out-of-the-box support for this. You'd have to write a script for that. You can use my scripts as a reference for the necessary functions.
