Hello everyone,

For a long time, I have been having a lot of difficulty with Kodi's illustration browser. Kodi seems to limit the display of illustrations to the set language, which often prevents access to the English versions of TMDB. In addition, the illustrations are not differentiated by source (TMDB, FanartTV) or by resolution, which makes selection difficult, if not impossible, I find.

For Alien Romulus, for example, I only find a few poor quality covers, while TMDB offers so many! 
Switching the scrapper to English is unfortunately not the solution, because I lose my illustrations of little-known (French-speaking) works. How do you manage these constraints?

In the meantime, I opened an improvement request on GitHub: GitHub - Issue #221.

Thank you for your feedback!

How do you manage these constraints?

in cases where the scraped artwork is not satisfactory i download my own artwork from either tmdb or fanart.tv and save it alongside the media
in very limited cases i will grab artwork from a google image search, one example is the set artwork and cover art for Arrow Video's Children of the Corn Collection for which the artwork available does not match the set

Thank you for your answer izprtxqkft, even if I find it restrictive at first, I will study this solution.
