hi, tmdb-314367
is an interesting case (btw, please always use the type prefix with TMDB as explained in the API docs, example: movie-155
or series-155
, as the type cannot be correctly presumed programmatically for TMDB IDs)
the reason i say that tmdb-314367
is an interesting case is because this is neither a movie or a series, it was a movie that TMDB incorrectly added in the past: (after which they removed it)
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/314367-agatha-raisin-and-the-quiche-of-death
which translates to this episode on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4056574/
if I request this movie from the TMDB API now by ID, I get:
{"success":false,"status_code":34,"status_message":"The resource you requested could not be found."}
this is most probably the reason behind the blank poster issues too, but tbh I see no realistic solution to it, RPDB tries to handle any valid IMDB ID and it will even work with IMDB episode IDs (to some extent)
the google form is a good idea, but i think it might be better if i make the report page part of the user web panel at: https://ratingposterdb.com/panel/ (this will be better in terms of spam protection as it requires user authentication)

Done. Missed this in the docs and hadn't faced any issues yet, luckily.
This seems perfect for this, wasn't aware that the panel was even a thing. Maybe I missed the patreon post for this, otherwise I would have suggested this in the first place.
Yep, this seems like a difficult scenario. Any suggestions on how to handle this on my side, if it can't be done on the RPDB servers? I guess I could check the TMDB or TVDB API for movies & shows respectively, but that seems excessive. Hoping you have a better suggestion for such scenarios.
Off-topic, any reason the panel doesn't have TVDB as an option for Series Poster/Backdrop ?

yes, it's because the TVDB ID cannot be extracted from the URL pattern

give me some time to see what can be done about this on the server-side, i have some ideas, this should be an extremely rare case, the issue is actually that this is not a movie at all, it's an episode, the series does have a poster..
the cleanest solution is to disable support for episodes on the server, (as i think i do have data about which of them are episodes) but this is not the first time i see an episode in a user movie folder, so i'll see if this case can be handled better somehow (even if it has already proven itself to be prone to errors)
an episode in a user movie folder
Yeah, I do have plans to eventually go through all movies and remove the ones which are episodes in other shows but that's some time away. In the meantime, I just didn't want the existing poster to be replaced by a blank.
I will leave you to it and wait for a proper solution.
Hi,
Can we have a Google Form or similar to submit any poster issues like
tmdb-314367
for example, since it's returning a blank poster with200
as the response code rather than404
, which can be handled properly?Thanks.
