Last Season Poster Is Missing - A Bug?!?
posted by janarSTAFFMOD on December 11, 2017 at 3:09 PM
I can't figure out why - for some tv shows - the last season poster is missing on the main tv page. Does somebody else experience the same mistake/problem/whatever? What's the reason for that - is that an image cache problem or a bug? 
Here's an example of where it works.
When I go to this page of the show The Walking Dead:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1402-the-walking-dead
I can see the season poster for season 8 left to the description of the season. I made a screenshot of it (the description is missing in the screenshot because I changed the scale in my browser):
https://picload.org/view/drwgcpgl/thewalkingdeadscreenshot.jpg.html
This is how it looks in my browser at the moment. In this case, it works, obviously -> it shows the most voted season poster of this tv show that's uploaded here:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1402-the-walking-dead/season/8/images/posters
Here's an example where the poster is missing.
When I go to this page of the show Jane the Virgin:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61418-jane-the-virgin
I can't see the season poster for season 4 left to the description of the season. I also made a screenshot of it (again, the description is missing in the screenshot because I changed the scale in my browser):
https://picload.org/view/drwgcpga/janethevirginscreenshot.jpg.html
In this case, it obviously doesn't work - the poster isn't shown, despite the fact that a season poster was uploaded here:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61418-jane-the-virgin/season/4/images/posters
I can't figure out why this happens - any ideas?
By the way - a few other random shows with missing last season posters at the moment are:

Good catch, it's the same for me! I at first thought "maybe there isn't a high quality enough poster available, but for The Good Wife there's a 1000x1500 poster, so that shouldn't be the reason XD

The weird thing is that for all the 5 shows I cited as examples yesterday -> I can see the last season poster now! It's as if someone else (Travis?) read this topic and already did/fixed something for these 5 shows specifically? Because I certainly did nothing differently over night and just noticed this ...
It's very strange, because the problem isn't solved for all shows -> a few more random examples that I just checked on which I still can't see the last season poster right now:
It's a real mystery to me ...

I'm really confused because I checked your examples yesterday only a few hours after you made your post and the posters were fine. But the posters from the new shows you listed also do not work for me.

That's really confusing! But thanks for replying; at least now I know I'm not going crazy, haha.
It remains a mystery ...

Hey guys, I'm not sure why that's happening. Seems like it's something to do with language fallbacks.
I've been busy for a few weeks on some other things but when I get back to the website in another week or so, I'll take a peak at what's causing this.

I am pretty sure I just pushed a fix for this but I found it hard to track down so @janar72 how do things look now?
