Hi,
I'm currently running version 0.18.1 of MythTV and am unable to
download movie posters for MythVideo. When using the Search IMDB
option within Video Manager it successfully identifies the correct
entry and downloads the metadata. Am I correct in assuming that it
should also at this point download the cover art as well?
If I run imdb.pl -P manually from the shell giving the IMDB id as a
parameter it successfully returns the url of the image at ipmawards,
and when browsed to manually that image does exist.
The directory specified within Videos/General settings does exist and
the user MythTV is run as does have write access.
The command specified to search for movie posters remains unchanged
from the default and appears correct.
Any ideas? Am I missing something blatantly obvious?
Run mythfrontend as: '/usr/bin/mythfrontend --logfile
/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log'
Ensure that /var/log/mythtv is writable as the user launching mythfrontend.
You'll probably discover, as I did, that my /VideoPosters volume was not
writable as the user running mythfrontend. Once I corrected the
permissions problem, my poster problem went away.
