Status: Written in python3, so access is limited to Kodi 19 (Matrix) and later.
We're happy to announce our officially supported Kodi scrapers for TheTVDB.com. These leverage our latest API and are written to work with the latest Kodi versions. Older versions of TheTVDB scrapers are considered deprecated, as it will become necessary at some point to turn off our legacy APIs.
TheTVDB scrapers include both a TV and movie scraper and access is entirely free for Kodi users. This TV scraper will download our full set of metadata plus artwork for series, seasons, episodes, and actors. This scraper relies on matching your folder name to TheTVDB show titles. Episodes are matched on the season/episode numbering of your filename (S01E01). All season orders are available, including aired, DVD, absolute, and various alternate orders that are used for regional releases (ie Money Heist recut on Netflix, Disney+ series being recut and reordered, etc).
Note that some orders on TheTVDB may be named differently than the order shown in the scraper, as we allow overriding the order name per series (ie Money Heist includes a "Netflix" order). You can find the order to select (ie "Alternate") within the scraper by looking at the note below the season list on TheTVDB. Please refer to the wiki for configuration instructions.
Please report issues on the repo linked below. Additional support is available through our support system and we'll also be maintaining a presence here on the Kodi forums. Special thanks to Roman for writing the plugin for us and to Karellen and the rest of the Kodi board for their patience, guidance, and support.
Installing
The scraper is available to install from the Official Kodi Repository and named The TVDB v4 by TVDB Team.
