Questions about Collections information
posted by AbidalaSTAFFMOD on August 13, 2014 at 12:07 PM
Hallo together, first of all I have to admit that I don't use the API directly. Instead I am using XBMC with the TMDb-Movie-Scraper. Maybe you could answer 2 questions as well.
No matter what skin I use in XBMC it is not possible to show up some OVERVIEW information for movie collections. Does the API support such information ?
Collections were shown in XBMC with the poster of the first entry of the collection , not with the TMDb collection poster. Does the API provide posters from the collections itselfs or from the belonging movies ?
Thx for your support (even if this maybe out of your responsibility)

Hi Abidala,
Yes, it does. I am not sure if XBMC is pulling that info in or not but it is returned.
Yes, we provide the same posters you see on the website for the collection itself.
Sounds like XBMC is not pulling the overview, nor the collection poster. You'll have to contact them to see if you can get it added.
Cheers.

Thx for your information. I'll try to adress this thing at the XBMC-project. Discussion closed.
