Known Issue with TVDB scraper

https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=333344

 Im not using KODI to scrape anything. I use emby. I think that issue doesn't apply to me since I have everything correctly scrapped in my server

--------------------

EDIT: This is not addon-related. It has it's source in the Emby for KODI addon. As of now, I'm working with one of the devs to push a new stable release as it seems something has changed along the way.

I'm leaving this edit here in case another Emby for KODI user also happens to use this IMDB Ratings Update addon as well and has this error in the TV Shows ID retrieval.

Cheers   

Thanks djhifi to clarify that the issue is not related to the add-on! Sometimes things can be just misinterpreted by some users.

Please anyway keep us updated about the status!

Have a great day!  

You're welcome. I can't live without this addon since I love having my ratings synced in KODI and sadly, using an Emby server (that has everything scrapped and updated) doesn't actually carry over the ratings (and votes, specially) to the KODI because the Emby for KODI addon fetches the information from the metadata in the Emby server and refreshes the tables in the "myvideosXXX.db" in KODI.

What was happening regarding TV Shows "tvdb" IDs not being imported to the correct table in the KODI "myvideosXXX.db" is now solved.

But that raised one question/suggestion I would like to ask you:

Can you implement a feature in the addon in order for it to be able to only update Movies as well as TV Shows that don't have ratings in the "myvideosXXX.db" ? 
I mean, without the need to scan the entire movie library, to make things faster, is it possible to implement such behavior?

TV Shows might be tricky, because even if I lock the metadata in my Emby server for all the espides on a particular season that IS STILL ONGOING, whenever I add the newest episode, emby for kodi syncs and refreshes the tables on that entire TV Show, removing all the ratings EXCEPT those that are attached to episodes i've already locked. If I lock the entire TV Show, the Emby server simply doesn't scrape. So I think it would be easier for movies, since no movie ratings actually reset as they are not tied under the same parent folder as well as they have different tables in the "myvideosXXX.db".

Can you implement a search function in the "myvideosXXX.db" for movies without ratings?

PS: I hope this isn't confusing


EDIT: Still regarding the problem I was having I just now noticed that you added, 2 versions ago, IMDB ID retrieval from tvdb for TV Shows and episodes. Maybe this is correlated somehow. What changed ? (i have to read back in the pages)
