FAQ

How the artwork retrieval works

  • 01

    Can the AI find art without a specific ID?

    No. The tools require a specific ID to locate the exact movie or TV show in the database.

  • 02

    Can the AI upload these images to my media server?

    No. The AI can only fetch and provide the image data or links. You must handle the actual file placement yourself.

  • 03

    Does the AI choose the best image automatically?

    The AI selects the asset type based on your prompt, but you should specify if you want a poster, logo, or banner.

  • 04

    Can the AI edit the images it finds?

    No. The tools only retrieve existing files from Fanart.tv; they do not have image editing capabilities.

  • 05

    What happens if the ID is wrong?

    The tool will return an error or no results if the ID does not match an entry in the Fanart.tv database.
