Hey, I want to add some episode images, for example here: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/66008-you-me-her/season/2 How do I do it? Are these "backdrops"? https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/66008-you-me-her/season/2/episode/1/images/backdrops

Best regards, bugfix

Yes, episode stills are called backdrops.

That's exactly the correct page to add episode images for this specific episode! smiley_cat

Off Topic: Did you - by any chance - watch season 2 of You Me Her? How is it?

Thank you! I was a little bit confused since the images have to be 1280x720 but here they are very little:

Not yet. Loved the first season but I have to finish Brooklyn Nine Nine Season 3 and Orange is the New Black Season 5 first ;)

The rule that those images have to be bigger than 1280x720 is a new one. There are a lot of older images in the data base that are smaller and worse in quality, here for example:

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1435-the-good-wife/season/1/episode/5/images/backdrops

There are more rules regarding these pictures (no watermarks, no low quality screencaps, no violence, no nudity and more), but some of those rules are still discussed and it's better a mod explains this to you than I do. It's hard to find stills for every show; I always search for recaps or promotional photos on networks, but it's not always successful, unfortunately.

I loved the first season, too - but I have the same problem with a lot of other shows to finish first. There's not enough time for all the things I want to do in a day ... :-(

The rules say it has to be 128x720 for episode backdrops too, but it's actually 400x225 the standard from TVDb, which imo way too small and only works for older shows that have no HQ promo images/stills.
