Display attribution when downloading from TMDB - especially API #373

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

What area does your enhancement or feature relate to? (i.e. Config/Setup,
GUI, options, Skin, AMC Updater, Grabber Interface, etc.)
Mainly GUI I think
What is the purpose or benefit of the new feature or enhancement?
Travis Bell at TMDB requested to mention TMDB whenever scraping is done using 
the API. Actually that is a part of the API Terms of Use. 

Can you illustrate it with examples such
as images (screenshots), scenarios or examples from other Plugins?
IMO when a user selects TMDB - e.g. grabber for data, covers etc, it is clear 
it is from TMDB. However, there are several places where MF uses TMDB API in 
the background, such as fanart download, person images/info, where it is not 
clear that the data/images is from TMDB.

There are two places where I think this can be done easily:
1. Progress dialogs - when downloading fanart or person info/images
2. Menu Options

In both cases this may be as easy as modifying the language strings files. For 
example, MF often indicates the 'source' in menu options:
 - Download collection cover (TMDB)
 - Download covers (TMDb)
 - Load single trailer (TMDb)
 - Load all trailers for these films (TMDb)
 - Download TMDb data (online)
 - Filmography (TMDb)
But not consistently ;)  e.g.
 - Download fanart (all films)
 - Download fanart (selected film)
 - Info for related person(s)
There are probably more cases, but I am not 100% clear everywhere TMDb API is 
used :(
If this issue has been discussed in the MyFilms forum, add a link to the
related thread or post.
