Still unable to fetch TV Show ratings from IMDb?

IMDb ratings require the IMDB_ID field to be filled on TVDB for the specific item being rated (show or episode), otherwise there's no way to link between them.

Obviously, if you know for definite that it does have the correct IMDB_ID, that's another story. I would need more details, and a debug log (wiki) with you refreshing the show/episode in question.

Rescanned my library with the newest update, and didn't come across any issues.

Came across one issue, I have dvd order enabled, and the show Meet the Browns Season 1 dvd has 20 episodes, but only shows the first 10. After looking at the TVDB website, they only show 10 episoded for the dvd order, so i guess i'll have to sort them out by seasons that they show.

Hi!

Thank you for your work. I have started to use it, but I have the same problem with yours as with the old one. It does not able to match my series.

It seems like it tries to find the series with the season and episode numbering there are it is unable to match.
Bad:

Good:
http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?ser...anguage=en

Do you have any idea for solution?

Here is a log for a tv show:

Hey scudlee. I was pointed here by another user sopparus from the IRC channel.

The issue I have is with a UK TV Show called Panorama http://www.thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=series&id=80748. When the episodes are downloaded the filename shows them as Season 64 (panorama.s64e06.shaken.babies.whats.the.truth.720p.hdtv.x264-c4tv.mkv for example) but TheTVDB shows the current season as 2016. So I've manually changed the folder name to Season 2016 but the episodes are not found.

I've downloaded the zip file from the first post and tried to re-scan just the Panorama entry but still no luck.

FYI - just took one of my test Kodi boxes to the latest Krypton nightlies (6/23/2016 on Windows 10 Pro x64) and am seeing lots of issues with the scrapper. Is the script expected to work under Kodi 17? Known issues?

Thanks,

Mario

tvdb may have been down for a while? Shit happens. That url works in my browser now.
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)
