So I have been trying to use the tvshows.nfo solution from this thread and created an .nfo file containing the aid of a show used for test

The contents of the tvshow.nfo file is:

Code:

aid=13259

Then I went into the system and refreshed the episode list for the unrecognised folder and it recognised the series (new one) however nothing was returned.  After looking into the debug log I found that the aid was being lost after 19:23:44.031 T:15272, since subsquent requests (see 19:23:44.032 T:14280) returns no ID in the chain function call and all anidb.net url are missing the aid?  Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Debug log from the important section:

Additional I did notice that the name of the series is missing from the list so I also created a personal anime list and enabled it in the pulg-in, it's contents was:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<anime-list>

  <anime anidbid="13259" tvdbid="337017" defaulttvdbseason="1">

    <name>Darling in the FranXX</name>    

  </anime>

</anime-list>

I thought that since it wasn't on the list it wouldn't be recognised and that could cause the issue however still no luck.

Any thoughts? Any illumination will be helpful and also if you need the full debug log please let me know.
