MyEmbyPlayer 1 Posted March 14, 2024 Posted March 14, 2024 (edited) Hi, I hope someone can clarify the problem. I have the TV show "Sliders". On the TV show page the cast/actors are listed: When I switch into an episode there is no cast/actor although there should be according to TheTVDB. I have configured the library like this: I am using only TheTVDB. If I use another primary service the actors get mixed up because the other services have the wrong order (airing order). Is that a problem with TheTVDB or is my configuration wrong? Best regards Goran Edited March 14, 2024 by MyEmbyPlayer Insert images 1

Luke 38844 Posted April 6, 2024 Posted April 6, 2024 I opened an issue: https://github.com/thetvdb/v4-api/issues/326 If they don't respond soon then I'll just update tvdb to use the extended episode api, which will stink, but it is what it is I guess.
BorgKnight 0 Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 Hi all, I'm just looking to see if there is any update on this issue. From what I can see tvdb haven't given any response to Luke on github. It would be great to have the guest stars back for the episodes. I tried tmdb as the source but their lists for guest stars is terrible, including the main cast for all episodes. Thanks

I guess more people should followup on the issue. But will guess Luke will be force to do a rewrite to make multiple queries to get the info from specific endpoints.
Luke 38844 Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 Yea it's been months since any tvdb member has responded to any ticket on there, not just that one. So that's not good.
Happy2Play 9142 Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 It is like everyone is on vacation over there as they have went radio silent since about mid-March. 1
BorgKnight 0 Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 I see guest stars have come back via TVDB after a plugin update. Thanks for the fix.

So that's not good. TVDB responded in a week or so to a ticket I raised recently about an incorrect entry (a series with, until recently, one surviving episode classified incorrectly as a movie; the missing episode has now been found but can't be added to TVDB...). They rejected my request for a correction (I can't add the series myself because the movie entry already links to the series entry in IMDB and so blocks it) because I hadn't given them links to alternative sources of information - I had simply given them the IMBD and TMDB series ID numbers (which are already inappropriately linked in their movie entry!) and expected them to be able to look them up themselves...
