The current airing one has the tmdb id 87012, and is listed as "continuing" on themoviedb.com.
When browsing themoviedb helper add-on, both shows are listed, but the id 87012 is also displayed as "canceled".
The latest episode info also equals that of 34549.
How might this have happened? Where does this add-on fetch this information? My local nfo files are correct.
It doesn't use the saved id mainly for legacy reasons - in Leia it was only possible to get the main ID for the show and it wasn't possible to tell if that ID was from tvdb or tmdb since both use numbers only.
Ive got some changes coming up soon which will attempt to use tmdb ids if available in the nfo and will give better matches for tvshows.
