Do we know why TVDB is down ?

Quote:I think he means that he has the all info stored locally (nfo files and images) so when and if he has to populate egain his database with already scraped movies he doesn`t need an online source.But at some point in creating these files you also need an online connection or you are ending in painting your thumbs manually, right? So there's no difference in getting these infos to your pc, but the only difference is the behaviour when having broken or deleted the database.
BaerMan Wrote:Yes, last night it worked again. Sadly all my thumbs and posters were purged. I restored my database and again changed all pathnames to the new ones so I at least had all my episode infos again but images were gone.
