Question IBN plug-in source?

 

I tried using MCM to get my actor images but they were really low res and didn’t look right in the vanilla theme. But when I use the IBN plug-in the images look great, just that there are tons of images for actors missing! So I was wondering where the plug-in got its images so I can try and get the missing actors.

There is an ongoing project here that will help you. You will just have to wait a bit until completed. In the mean time you will need to use your metadata provider. By the way does mcm use imdb or tmdb/tvdb? Imdb has some of the better images.

 
  • I think it’s imdb but I’m not sure since I’m at work. When I used it though the images were really low res compared to what the plug-in would get. – Unknown977 over 1 year ago

Good day,

When I used MCM before, they are option in the setting to get the hi-res images if I still remember correctly.

Nothing in the setting for that?

Also, did you tried that:

Maximus Toolpool

My best

 
  • I checked setting and preferences when I got home and saw nothing like that, only the option to download cast and crew :/ – Unknown977 over 1 year ago

that plug-in actually fetches it’s images from theHTPC.net , Jon the owner of the site also did a actors project like the one skynet linked above, the results of which the plugin fetches.

Tho that hasnt had anything new added to it in quite some time, so it’s possible whatever your missing, are infact missing from his collection.

 
  • Well I’m missing some pretty big actors like Johnny Depp I just think the plugin isn’t working correctly :( – Unknown977 over 1 year ago

Im pretty sure the Maximus toolpool has got the odd logo image download issue mine used to have so you might get some non images being downloaded. give them a go if you like and if you find its got issues, perhaps have a look at some of my apps. :-D
