MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win (with music library scraping)

Oh, today I was able to reproduce this issue. And it's a stupid one. MediaElch sets the timeout for any network request to 3 seconds and then aborts the request.
That means when data from TheTvDb is successfully loaded but the request to IMDb is aborted, the rating from TheTvDb is shown. And it probably only happens on certain pages (i.e. shows) because the page is either larger (which actually shouldn't matter; it's just a few KB; no images) or has higher latency (maybe takes longer to be generated on IMDb's server). Or maybe my internet connection is slower today than on other days. Either way, MediaElch behaves poorly. No error message is shown to the user *at all*. It is logged but then again: Who reads the log? I myself often don't and I'm the current maintainer...

As a "workaround" I'll set the timeout to 6 seconds. That way IMDb data should be loaded. That's not a real solution but correct error handling will take me a while.

I'm looking into it right now. I haven't used my Windows VM in while. Updates take longer than expected...
