v19 Scraper The TVDB v4 or The TVDB (new)
#1
Hello! I would like to ask you some questions:

What is the difference between The TVDB v4 and The TVDB (new)?
Will one replace the other?
Which one do you think is better?

Thank you very much.

TVDB (new) is the first Python scraper for TVDB. It uses TVDB APIv3 which is due to be decommissioned by the end of the year. It is unmaintained.

TVDB v4 is the new Python scraper for TVDB. It is written by TVDB themselves. It uses the new APIv4 and replaces all other TVDB scrapers.

There is soon to be no choice.

V4 does not give me all the season artwork posters. I only get the default one. When I go to choose a different poster there is nothing else to select. V3 (new) works fine.
