Actor / Actress Image Artwork

[jbinkley60]

Version 1.0.13 of the Mezzmo Artwork Checker has been uploaded to GitHub.
This version has a major fix for IMDB images fetching due to an API change.


New Features / Fixes in v1.0.13:


• Fixed issue fetching IMDB images due to an IMDB API change implemented on
1/1/2023


I've been using this utility for a number of months now and have fetched over
14,000 additional images from TMDB / IMDB for actors and actresses.


Feedback is welcome.


Thanks,

Jeff

It was brought to my attention that I hadn't created a Wiki page for the
Mezzmo artwork checker tool. I've now completed the initial Wiki for this
valuable tool which can help you easily manage your actor / actress artwork
even for very large libraries. My current library has over 88,000+ actor /
actresses in it with 70,000+ associated images.

The new Wiki page has information on configuring the tool, running the tool,
how it works and information on the CSV outputs which provides valuable
data on actor / actresses, what movies / TV episodes they star in, which have
artwork, which don't, what type of artwork and a nice set of statistics
to help you manage your artwork.

I'll continue to update the new Wiki site over the next week. Feedback is welcome.


Thanks,

Installing python isn't the issue. It's the whole "needing another third party app to run". That's another app you have to maintain security updates for.

I wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this conversation. In the next few weeks I will begin investigation on what it would take to move the Mezzmo Artwork Checker and the Mezzmo Trailer Checker to a compiled binary format which would run natively under Windows.

No commitments yet but I will begin the research.


Thanks,

I am trying to implement artwork script. Everytime i run the script to retrieve 10 images, keep receiving error "The IMDB server appears to be busy or down." Does this happen time to time or do i have something mis-configured?

Can you send me a private message with a copy of your config file ?

It looks like the issue was a bug with the config parsing for IMDB_KEY where you took out "Your-IMDB-API-Key" and just left it blank. I have published a 1.0.14 test release which fixes this. It will now accept the default value of ""Your-IMDB-API-Key", None or blanks. Please try this and let me know if it works better.
