Hi Joseph, I thought it was solved.

Here is what I think, If many movies have been thumbnailed, google may be detecting unusual activity and blocking you temporarily.
Try updating only the files with missing thumbnails:
imdb-thumbnailer -u file1 file2 etc...

You told me by mail: "Only did random ones of remaining."
If the problem persist, can you elaborate a little more?

Maybe those that still don't get the poster don't have a poster in imdb.com. Search for those movies in IMDb to see if they have a poster.
It may be also that the file names are not producing the correct result. Try adding the release date from IMDb, check that the title is correct.
If the problem persist it will help if you let me know the file name from a file that is not getting the thumbnail.

Ok, try this, rename for example "Fast & Furious (2009) HD.mp4" to "Fast & Furious (2009).mp4" and see if it gets the cover.
If it works you need to add the following to the config file (~/.imdb-thumbnailer/config):

parse_filename () {
  query=${query//HD}
}

Now update the remaining movies with imdb-thumbnailer -u file1 file2 etc...
You can also rename Fast & Furious the way it was before.

What didn't work?
Did you renamed "Fast & Furious (2009) HD.mp4" to "Fast & Furious (2009).mp4"?
If so, did it worked or it was the last part that didn't worked?

Yes, I renamed it. Added the thing you said to the config file and ran the
command in the terminal. Videos still didn't get posters.

What I meant is that you probably did not copy the complete output from the command, the text you pasted is incomplete, I need the last part. If you could run the command again and paste the complete output it would be great.

Well, I really don't know how that can be, there should be more lines but ok try this:
1. Download the cover for the movie.
2. Use this command: imdb-thumbnailer --set '/path/2/movie.mp4' '/path/2/cover.jpg'

I saw the screenshot, the command didn't finish, you have to wait a little bit, the last part searches for the movie online.
