Ok, it seems, the TvDB API is having some issues.
And if it is not available on startup, we cannot validate our API key... and the scraper is not workable at all.
We might tweak that in future a bit...

For now, just keep restarting TMM


PS:
the "donator" TVDB is the Kodi XML scraper on your system.

@myron

Could you please explain the difference between the two TVDB Scrapers? Why would I need to use the Kodi XML scraper when TMM has its own scraper?

[mlaggner]

we just display all available kodi scrapers too if you are a donator and tmm is able to find some kodi scrapers...
we may tweak that, so that kodi scrapers are in the bottom...

Ok, thanks

[myron]

If you have Kodi installed on same machine as TMM, we would find all installed XML scrapers of Kodi, and - if you have donated - you are able to use them / scrape inside TMM with them.
This works quite well (although not 100%)

TMM scrapers are always available, and no one forces you to take the Kodi ones...
It just might come handy for some exotic scrapers we do not provide...

In this case our impl had an error (due to the unavailability of TVDB), and we could not start our TVDB plugin....
