Scraper for TV ShowsSite used: https://www.themoviedb.org/
Status: BROKEN as at 25 June 2022. Fails to scrape first episodes or first seasons, particularly when there is only a single season for the TV show. Switch to TMDB TV Shows Python scraper
This is to announce that finally we decided to push scudlee's excellent work on the initial support for scraping TV Shows from themoviedb.org. It should get available via the addon manager in a couple of hours.
