Is it possible to add to this plugin the ability to retrieve movie posters by providing
the movie ID from TMDb instead of the movie title? There are certain movies with
the same title, and it makes it a bit problematic to get the correct poster. Apart
from this, the movie widget is absolutely fantastic

It’s a simple widget and does what the dev described. The only downside is the TMDB
key that you need to get but you only have to that once.
