The Movie Database Support

When using language and include_image_languages together, the language specified in the 'language' parameter is ignored e.g.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/343611/images?api_key=APIKEY&language=de&include_image_language=en,null

Does not return any German images even though they exist.

If you specify the German filter without the fallback you get the results:

Hi Damian,

This is by design. As soon as the include_image_language param is included, it acts as the filter for images and ignores the language param. If you want to include de, add it to the include_image_language list.

?include_image_language=en,de,null

Cheers.

Thanks for clarifying Travis.

No problem. 👍
