As has been noted by others, the 0.21-fixes version of imdb.pl no longer
downloads movie posters correctly. I'm attaching a shell script to download
movie posters and update the database accordingly. It works for me under
mythbuntu 8.04; you may need to edit some of the config strings at the top of
the script for other configurations. Use the script by doing
imdbposter <imdb-number>
If you already have a poster file downloaded or want to specify a filename
for the poster you can do
imdbposter -f <filename> <imdb-number>
Use it at your own risk. I take no responsibility if it trashes your
database or eats your homework. You'll need to ensure that your movies have
their IMDB number set correctly before trying to use this. You can check
which movies don't have their poster set by doing:
. ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
mysql -B -e 'select inetref,title from videometadata where coverfile = "No
Cover" and inetref != 0' -u $DBUserName -p$DBPassword $DBName
