Problem with backdrop images
posted by gpolydorosSTAFFMOD on February 4, 2018 at 11:17 PM
Hello,
I've noticed that some backdrop requests return a zero-byte jpeg image when a specific size (i.e. w1920) is requested. For example, have a look at this:
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/xETbCo8l06poxFUgbtaUeKmLadz.jpg (the original image exists and is returned as expected)
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1920/xETbCo8l06poxFUgbtaUeKmLadz.jpg (the resized image is actually a zero byte, 0x0-pixel jpeg).
This used to work fine up until now for both movies and TV shows. Is w1920 not supported anymore?

Thanks for clearing that up! I hadn't noticed that w1920 isn't officially supported - although it would be really nice if it was! In that case, I'll have to switch to w1280 for the time being.
Thanks again!

No problem.
I'm still considering which new sizes to support but will likely support something in the 1920 range at some point.
