first of all sorry for my english a little bad. Hi, good day.
Well, I'm trying to get the posters/backgrounds from Movies and TV Shows using IMDB ID but only works with movies. With TV returns a 404 error. My query is the next.
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movies/tt0831387/images?api_key='+api_key'
This works perfectly for me.
The query of TV Shows:
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/tt0944947/images?api_key='+api_key'
Return a 404 Error.
I tried with more shows but nothing. :(
Thank you very much for your attention

Querying by IMDB ID is not supported on TV. It's not truly supported on movies either but as you have discovered, does work.
The proper supported way is to use the find method, and then query the id.
Then query 1399:
Cheers.

I supposed that it would have to do that. But was hoping there was a short form of do it or some error in my query.
thank you very much.
