Setting primary poster?
posted by csf.tvSTAFFMOD on April 19, 2019 at 9:28 PM
Looks like the primary poster is not being set to the theatrical poster on many titles. Fan art and neutered poster art is being used instead. Is this a convention, a rule, or a system problem with TMDB? I also cannot see anyway to set an image as primary. Just a slew of "primary?" images.

This should answer most of your questions: https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/image/59f7582c9251416e7100005f#59f758309251416e71000061

Thank you. As a former movie theatre owner I thought the original theatrical one sheet, which probably includes credits, should always be considered primary. I understand the rule now and appreciate the quick response.

One thing that isn't mentioned in the Bible: Travis has plans for a future image tagging system that will include a theatrical tag. No ETA though.
