Hello,

When fetching the language-specific full series record, the default banner is sometimes for a different language.

For example, for South Park, when fetching series/75897/all/en.zip, the file en.xml inside the zip file points to this banner which banners.xml says is Hebrew, not English. I realize I could just parse banners.xml, but I would still expect that en.xml would point me to an English banner, not a different language. The same problem exists for e.g. Once Upon a Time, where en.xml points to this banner (also Hebrew, perhaps coincidentally). Is this a known problem?

Thanks.

The banner linked in en.xml is the one with the highest rating I think, not taking the amount of votes into the equation. As long as you already have the zip downloaded why not fetch the appropriate banner from the banner.xml? I use that to select the most appropriate, I select the highest rated English banner with a minimum number of votes.

Yes, that's what I'll have to do I guess. I was just trying to avoid adding that code out of laziness. :)
