Sure its free, but then again, the community of people updating the database is also supplying hours of free time to update (I update when I can and when its not denied by the admins, or shows that need changing but are locked off).
Is there a scraper for TVMaze, it seems so much better - the admins are easier to approach, understanding, the site stays up more often than TVDB and TVRage.
I suppose I shall have to learn some Python and program my own scraper?
TVDB is a central point for hundreds if not thousands of programs...so it being down from time to time isnt that bad given the number of api hits it receives in a day.
TVMase is infant so you cant compare it to TVDB. Yes i do admit that the staff seems like they have sticks up there A** but given the amount of work and nonsense they must have to put up with, im not too surprise.
