Movie poster downloads from IMDB lowres? - the fix is here
Posted on September 10th, 2008 by
If you are using MythVideo, you know that you can download metadata and movie posters from IMDB.com. Apparently the layout on IMDB has been changed recently. This breaks the download code in MythTV. It doesn’t break it completely - you will typically get a poster with a lower resolution.
The fix has already been checked in, so if you are running trunk, you should be OK. Since the download is contained in a perl script it should be pretty easy to fix. You can find the patch here and a discussion of the problem here.
