is it possible to add a fallback to English, when a TV show is not found in another language on TVDB?
If you for example take this show https://www.thetvdb.com/series/silicon-v...easons/all and change language to German the last seasons episode names will be blank. If I scrape this with Media Companion it would be nice if it would fallback to English, if there is no German information available.
MC uses the Language you initially set to scrape the series, without fallback. This is so Users know when info is not present.
We suggest you pay it forward, sign up with TheTvDb, and add the missing information for the episodes so more users of TheTVDb benefit.
You may also note there is no German info for the Three specials.
I agree with you that it would be better if I add this information in German language. However there is currently no official German episode name. Same goes for example for Suits.
I have mixed languages for some shows. New seasons which are not yet available in German I collect in English. So for me a fallback or at least a "per season" language would be great. I think kodis scraper has something like this as optional setting. So users that don't like the fallback could just disable it, but for me it would help a lot. If you don't agree with that, I think I'll have to life with it and scrape everything in English language only.
