use the tmdb images instead of downloading them #61

Is it possible to have the image urls referencing the original URLs from tmdb instead of downloading them?

webstractions commented 2 years ago

It would be possible, but why would you want to do that? When you download a poster image, WordPress will make different sizes of the image automatically for you. If you use a poster as a thumbnail, you don't want to use the original size from the TMDB url. I have seen 1200x1800 pixel posters crammed into a thumbnail too many times and it delays the page from loading in quick fashion.

You're right, this is more efficient. I don't remember why I opened this issue at that time.
