Custom Posters

[jaydecay78]

Hi there,

Ive noticed recently that I dont have the ability to create any custom posters..

Previously I used to be able to make my own posters, upload the to imgur and use the custom post option to get badges, ratings, etc added to my images

now I just get a blank white poster with the badges returned though

can you show me an example of such a imgur url?

Yep, The posters Im trying to use are here: https://imgur.com/gallery/ecsQU3T when I link to them in RPDB I get just a blank white screen From: Alexandru Branza ***@***.***> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2024 6:03 PM To: RatingPosterDB/rpdb-folders ***@***.***> Cc: jaydecay78 ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [RatingPosterDB/rpdb-folders] Custom Posters (Issue #54) can you show me an example of such a imgur url? — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#54 (comment)> , or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/A2P2XTWBIKMWU2VE5WKDRJTYOLD5XAVCNFSM6AAAAABBZOMTESVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMYTQOJQGYZTKMRZGA> .

I have done some testing and can confirm this issue, but it only happens with images hosted on imgur, i tried with TMDB poster URLs and random image URLs, such as: https://img.posterstore.com/zoom/wb0101-8harrypotter-thephilosophersstoneno150x70.jpg and it seems to work fine, maybe imgur changed something and does not allow image downloads? or maybe they blocked the RPDB servers due to a high number of downloads.. I will look into it further

Great thanks, any of the other free hosting sites would be fine but I tested another one last night (I forget which) and same issue

Whatever you did has fixed it for other hosting sites! And seems to be running faster too tonight for manual searches 😊

i did nothing yet.. just more tests and it really seems like an issue with imgur specifically, most probably due to a change on their side
