Bug in Movie Images API
posted by PurusothamanSTAFFMOD on October 31, 2013 at 2:33 หลังเที่ยง
The Movie Images API does not return the backdrop images for the movies. Able to get posters and not the backdrop images.
Example movie having backdrop images: http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10661-you-don-t-mess-with-the-zohan
I am not sure if its really a bug with API or the bug with the PHP libary(Jonas De Smet - Glamorous) that I use.

I'm assuming that you're setting a language? As mentioned in the documentation, the language parameter acts as a filter for the images call so if you want to retrieve everything you need to not specify any language.
Returns all of the images.

Looks like you are correct.
But the PHP library is taking "en" as the default language if nothing is provided. Even in that case, no backdrop images are shown.
Now I am modified the library in the constructor by commenting out the step which sets the language. Thanks.
