TV - Use series.xml data from TVDB when scraping episodes. This allows scraping of displayseason & displayepisode.

Any chance of explaining this a bit more? Or is this one of those things to not concern myself with. Thanks for the latest.

Code:

<displayseason></displayseason>
<displayepisode></displayepisode>

are used for Tv Episode specials, placing the special within a season, as well as with the Special list.

Media Companion wasn't getting this info when scraping epsiodes, but now, where we download the series.xml data, we download the complete TV Show's episode listing, including these two tags.

Previously, we were making a url call for each episode, to get that episodes data, then another url call to get the thumbnail. Now, we download the series.xml once (MC re-downloads it if the present file is older that 14 days), and only make one url call to get the thumbnail.

This should make scraping a complete show quicker (thought a small bit of work still needs to be done to streamline this).
