I've seen some places where TMDB IDs exist on the TVDB and others where it does not. I have your addon set to update ratings at the episode level, but if there's no TMDB ID for a show, the update tends to fail, sometimes catastrophically. That's why I was under the impression that your addon depended on TMDB IDs. But, perhaps these crashes are not caused by that missing ID and something else is going on. That just happened to be the pattern I was noticing.
Honestly, even if you were willing, I wouldn't want you to rewrite your entire addon because TMDB is screwing up their own data with utter stupidity. I'd be quite happy with your addon completely ignoring any episodes which don't have the necessary ID in Kodi and have it simply update the show's rating.
In your post you are mentioning the TMDB ID as the key point but it is not the case; what it is fundamental is the IMDb ID. As far as the TVDB scraper retrieves the IMDb IDs, the episode rating are correctly updated. On the other side, if there is no IMDb ID for a specific episode, the add-on just reports a warning inside its log file and passes to the next episode to be updated.
Having said that, it would be great if you can share both Kodi and add-on logs when a crash you are referring to happens. Let's take this as the first step to understand if there is any issue that depends on the add-on to be solved.
Have a great day!
