Background image returns 'null'

[meendoo]

I noticed that there isn't a fallback image for the background.
The response for that comes as https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/originalnull

To test that I've typed in the movie title Killer: A Journal of Murder (an excellent movie, btw)

Congrats with the project. Looks pretty neat.

What do you suggest? I've cloned the repo, but I can't see anything looking better than the black screen it does show.

@DanWilkes02 Agreed, this is why I haven't created a fallback image for the background. However it would be nice to have a fallback for the poster image.

[DanWilkes02]

I might have a look at it now if your want see what i can do

[DanWilkes02]

I'm done, I'll send over a pull request from my fork in a sec

I thought of a texture (example) applied to the background. In my opinion that works better than a request that fails.

[DanWilkes02]

@meendoo I did consider that but I thought that it might be confusing to a user. It might look like it hasn't loaded instead of there not being an image. I don't know though, it may be a better solution. @SKempin should probably decide what he thinks would work better

[SKempin]

Yes I think it may be confusing. If a background issue is to be used, it would need to denote that no artwork is available.
