thetvdb scraper always uses English (or an empty string)
#1
Hi,

since the very beginning theTVdb scrapper always gives me names of shows and episodes as well as all other text just in English.
My system default language is German, also the setting for the language in the add-on for theTVdb scrapper is set to "de".

So I tried to create the nfo-file "tvshow.nfo" with the following content:
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=147451&lid=14

This is a show where just a German entry exists.
The scrapper finds it on thetvdb.com, but downloads just the English text (banners are loaded correctly).
But there is no English text.

So this leads to an entry in XBMC without any names (nor the show or episodes).
Only seasons are display (season 1 and season 2), there is no name of the episode only the number.

What is done wrong?
Why does theTVdb-scrapper always uses English?

btw: It is not possible to delete the show with an empty name ("")!

Thanks and best regards
Gerhard

I did not find any mistake.
So I tried the following:

In the file /home/pi/.xbmc/addons/metadata.tvdb.com\tvdb.xml
I change all "$INFO[language]" to "de" and started scanning again.

Now it works.
I got the show if the correct name and all the episodes with the correct name.

What could be wrong?

Thanks and best regards
Gerhard

I think I found it.

This is really extremely confusing...
