I recently installed RaspBMC and in general it works pretty good.
However, I'm having a trouble making it recognize Attack on Titan anime series.
After enabling debugging and checking the logs I can see that Kodi successfully extracted series name from the directory name (Attack on Titan [2013][1080p][jp][en-sub]) but couldn't retrieve anything from thetvdb.com:
So I played a bit with thetvdb.com and found out that http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?ser...anguage=en indeed returns nothing while http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?ser...anguage=en actually yields a successful result.
Basically I see that thetvdb.com doesn't find anything when the year is specified unless it's Castle (2009).
I realize that the issue is probably more with thetvdb.com for not returning anything in this case. However, it would be nice if Kodi could try the url without the year if the uri with the year fails.
Any thoughts on how to work around the problem would be appreciated.
