update poster from link

[PierreDurrr]

My movies.yml file is like this :

Alien - Saga:
template: {name: Collection, collection: 8091, summary: 8091, poster: https://theposterdb.com/api/assets/1213}
trakt_list:
- https://trakt.tv/users/benreilly97/lists/alien?sort=released,desc
collection_order: alpha
collection_mode: hide_items

But the collection which is created has the tmdb poster.
Is it normal that the poster is not updated with the one supplied in poster: https://xxxxxxx ?
Should i use template: {name: Movie instead of collection ?

if you're just using the templates from the sample file then neither Movie nor Collection would do what you want.

This is the collection template and it only takes two variables, collection and movie, so anything else given to it is just ignored i.e. poster and summary

  Collection:
    optional:
      - collection
      - movie
    tmdb_collection_details: <<collection>>
    tmdb_movie: <<movie>>
    sync_mode: sync
    collection_order: release

if you want summary and poster to work in the template you can add it here also if you use tmdb_collection_details it will update the poster background and summary of the collection so doing a summary variable is redundant.

  Collection:
    optional:
      - collection
      - movie
      - poster
    tmdb_collection_details: <<collection>>
    tmdb_movie: <<movie>>
    url_poster: <<poster>>
    sync_mode: sync
    collection_order: release

Alien - Saga:
  template: {name: Collection, collection: 8091, poster: https://theposterdb.com/api/assets/1213}
  trakt_list:
    - https://trakt.tv/users/benreilly97/lists/alien?sort=released,desc
  collection_order: alpha
  collection_mode: hide_items

or if you didnt want to edit the template just use url_poster in the collection like so

Alien - Saga:
  template: {name: Collection, collection: 8091}
  trakt_list:
    - https://trakt.tv/users/benreilly97/lists/alien?sort=released,desc
  url_poster: https://theposterdb.com/api/assets/1213
  collection_order: alpha
  collection_mode: hide_items
