Fetching Primary Artwork with `fn:artwork.tmdb` Script?
Posted: 20 Feb 2024, 09:55
Hello,
I'm trying to use the fn:tmdb script to get artwork, but I'm curious if there's an option to get the primary artwork of a match.
For example, if I get artwork for the movie Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior (2008) I'd expect it to get the primary poster/fanart that is displayed on the movie page, instead it gets the 2nd poster from this list (The weird looking one that resembles a pokemon card).

I've noticed that none of my posters/fanart of any movies are the primary ones, it almost seems random.
Is there a flag\approach for the script that can provide a solution?
P.S
I've been keeping a media library for over a decade now, using FileBot most of that time for my renaming. I've never been able to setup Kodi to scrape for clear-art/logos properly, so up until now I've just been seeing whatever Poster/Fanart it managed to scrape. This script has made it super simple to add all missing artwork to my htpc, wish I'd noticed it long ago!

FileBot will typically fetch the artwork with the highest rating / highest resolution / etc that matches your language preferences for each type poster / fanart / clearart / logo / etc.
What does the console output say when an undesirable poster is selected?
