#12246 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

Artwork pulled is lowest ranked from source

Description

I'm finding that all the artwork that MythTV is automatically pulling from TMDB and TheTVDB is always (or almost always) the lowest ranked image. If there are several images with the same ranking, it selects the first tied, lowest ranking image. This usually results in sub-part background images. I have not checked if this problem applies to coverart and banners, but it may.

For example, from TMDB, the movie "Runner Runner" (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/146238-runner-runner/backdrops) automatically returns the least ranked image: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/11dpIMkMn8MmbDr69ENgwLngLr0.jpg

And from TheTVDB, the TV show "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seriesfanart&id=278518) returns the least ranked image: http://thetvdb.com/banners/fanart/original/278518-3.jpg

I would expect the grabber to automatically grab the highest rated artwork by default.

I tracked down this change made by Raymond (#11678, commit: da8ac305c3). Additionally, I remembered Stuart M. made this change: d95a237d.

Stuart's change actually resolved the issue, and when manually selecting artwork, the order was always right. But with the automated artwork retrieval, Raymond's change reversed the order. I tested in 0.27-fixes, and reverted Raymond's commit, and I can confirm that it selected the highest rated fanart in both the automated retrieval as well as in the manual GUI selection list.

Thanks to Stuart M for talking through it with me on IRC while I troubleshooted and tested.
