no fanart or landscape image for MAL #271

When I open a MAL folder in Otaku it is not showing any fanart. Same when I select landscape view. Is this a known issue?

Possibly but not too sure.

same here, if you switch to Anilist you'll have the posters there

I think when we recoded the mal watchlist, it's possible that we basically just utilized the data from mal, reason was so that we wouldn't have to make too many api request. We will try looking into that maybe and seeing if we could utilize a better way to grab more fanart utilizing mal watchlist.

What we could probably do is convert each mal_id into a tvdb_id utilizing database and grabbing fanart tv that way or by utilizing slugs. @Gujal00 if you can see if this is possible or if you can correct me on that, that would be great. Thank you
