Hi wiezel,
The plugin does not allow automatic images download, you have to pick the ones you want on a per-movie basis, the main reason for this is performance — downloading potentially dozens of images when importing metadata would really slow down the process.
Maybe you can provide some more details: did you import the movies or added them manually? Did you try to import the images yourself using the plugin, or did the images loading modal window fail to work?

hi,
ok… i understand the auto-load thingy.
no to the other problem. i clicked on “add new” …. put in a title … clicked on search and picked the right movie. i got the poster as a feature image, but no movie images and i would like to the ones tmdb is providing in a little gallery. maybe i am just missing something.

Ha, that’s not unheard of. Are you using Firefox? I noticed a bug with some versions of Firefox that prevents the posters/images from being loaded to the modal window, haven’t figured out yet what’s causing this… It looks like that’s what you’re experiencing.

i use chrome. no add-blocker or anything.
Ok. Unfortunately there’s no fix for this bug yet. I’m putting this as a priority for version 1.2 that’s due next week.

nice … thx … looking forward … i will check out the plugin some more. who knows what i will find 😀 need to do some restyling.
Tip: don’t push too hard on the restyling part: version 1.2 will introduce templates and alter quite a bit of styles 😉

VERY good to know 🙂 i hope there is a template with 2 columns 😀
ok … here a little off topic. but since you are here 😀 i tried out a couple themes. now there is one that is not seeing the movie entries as a new blog. because i only see my real “post” but not the movies. you know a quick work around? if not… don´t worry.

last comment for today …. i am sorry… added [movie_images] to the post now they show up … i wish you could click them and they pop up in a lightbox or something.
but thx for the help.. great support.
Great! Thanks for the heads up on HTTPS/HTTP for the images not loading, I’ll investigate that!
As for the theme, which one is it? The movies are supposed to show along with regular posts, but some themes may have an unorthodox way to handle the homepage 🙂
And for the lightbox thingie, we already got a couple of request for it! That’s not going to be a part of the plugin, but that will be a nice way to introduce the possibilities of extending the plugin. v1.2 and following will introduce hooks to extend the plugin, I’ll release a small plugin soon after v1.2 to add lightbox 🙂

I think I nailed the images-not-loading issue, hopefully the next version will fix this!
I took a look at your theme, it’s quite deprecated but I guess we can’t do much about that. Anyway, to show movies on your homepage, just edit the index.php file in your theme folder and change line 30 from:
'post_type' => 'post',
To:
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'movie' ),
And you should be good to go 🙂
The images not loading should be fixed with version 1.2.
