can you please add an option which can save the movie cover based on imdb id? i was thinking to save the movie cover file on my host. so i can simply upload the file using ftp on my host and use in template:

https://site.com/imdb.jpg

You can already save covers to files.

In "Settings" -> "Process" -> "General" -> "Save images to folder which is set for section" -> make sure "cover" is enabled (disabled "preview" if you don't need preview images).

Then for needed section click on settings button (near the section name) -> "Folder 2" tab -> set "Images" folder where you want to save covers for that section -> press "Update" button.

It will automatically save covers to that folder when processing posts. You can do whatever you want with those files later.



Or you can just setup Wordpress / DLE blog in your host. Then add it as image host in themaCreator (it already supports both) and it will upload it automatically to your blog.

Just don't use that blog if not needed (only use it for uploading image files via themaCreator).

that works too, but in that case same cover will keep reupload if it's same tv shows episodes or multiple quality movie. if we can save the cover as imdbid.jpg and upload the file manually to ftp server. we can simply use http://site.com/imdbid.jpg in template file. in this way we can save the server space.

Those images are tiny, they won't take much space at all. You should be fine literally with millions of posts, it will takes decades to reach those limits and disk space is really cheap nowadays anyway. You will probably die faster than you reach disk space limit with covers.

If you really that conservative about space you should use an actual image host then.

server space is cheap which is correct but uploading same cover again and again does not sound logical. if a series has 100 episode, app will upload the cover 100times. big image hosting probably using md5 hash check before image upload and make a url clone or something.

Different seasons usually have different covers. It won't be possible to do that with seasons then.

100 images really is nothing nowadays. Even 1000 images is nothing, images are tiny for nowadays HDD space.

If you really that conservative about space you should use an actual image host then. Or you could improve Wordpress image uploading to check for duplicate images.
