Bug The TVDB - OriginalTitle of TV Shows doesn't exist
#1
Hi,

I'm using json in order to get the original title of the tv show.

But when checking the tvshow table in the 'MyVideos107.db", column c09 (=originaltitle), all the column values are empty.

My settings are get info in Hebrew and fallback in English.

But I need the originaltitle for other purpose, so why this addon (metadata.tvdb.com) doesn't get and set the original title also?

 
Code:
request = {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1 , "method": "VideoLibrary.GetTVShowDetails", "params": {"tvshowid": int(tvshowid), "properties": ["originaltitle"]}}
results = json.loads(xbmc.executeJSONRPC(json.dumps(request)))
tvshowFile = results["result"]["tvshowdetails"]["originaltitle"]

I don't think thetvdb maintains that info. How do you exactly define "Original Title"?

The api is here. https://api.thetvdb.com/swagger#/

Original Title usally relates to the title in English.

For movies (With Universal scraper): xbmc.getInfoLabel("ListItem.OriginalTitle") give the original title.
But it's not working for TV Show, so I do it with JSON.
But I get an empty value, so I checked this column and it's empty, it's only has the title in the langauge I chose.

As I said, there is no original title in the tvdb database (that I can see anyway).
