It seems many background images (if not all) have no ISO country code, so when attempting to access image info using the include_image_language parameter the background images are not listed. Here is an example:
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/collection/115570?api_key=xxx&append_to_response=images
This url lists all the background images
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/collection/115570?api_key=xxx&append_to_response=images&language=en&include_image_language=??
Once a language is specified there is no way to list the background images without an ISO specified country. What should be used here? We have tried null but it needs to be a valid ISO code per the API docs.
Kan βn rolprent of TV-program nie vind nie? Teken aan om dit te skep.
Wil u hierdie item gradeer of tot βn lys toevoeg?
Nie βn lid nie?

Hi Tim,
The documentation mentions that null is valid option for
include_image_language
. I'm not entirely sure I understand the issue. Here's the example straight from the docs:Did you read the "Image Languages" section? Does that cover it?

I missed that in the docs, but we do pass in null, yet in this instance (and many others ) no background images are listed at all.
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/collection/115570?api_key=xxx&append_to_response=images&language=en&include_image_language=en,null
Results:
..."images":{"backdrops":[],...
EDIT Trying the example URL works, so it must be some difference in the collections versus movies API.

Include
&language=en
and then it doesn't work.I am new to the project and the API, but I believe the idea is to get the description for the specified locale, but when that is specified then the background images do not display even when
null
is included.Antwoord deur Travis Bell

Ah yes, I missed that param in my example.
I've created a new ticket for that here. I'll try to it fixed up in the next day or two.
Cheers.

The fix for this should be live. Mind giving it a go now?

Yep. Works as expected now:
