TVDB Changes

Did TVDB just screw us with their new website?  All links in Emby for every series returns "Oh No, Something's Gone Missing".

 

Their search is no longer by ID.

 

Looks like Emby needs to update the link parameter.

Looks like we just need to drop the "index.php" from the links for series and espisode..

Seems that thetvdb introduced changes to their website and the links generated by Emby no longer work. For example for the anime Steins;Gate 0 the URL generated by Emby is:

 

https://www.thetvdb.com//index.php?tab=series&id=339268

 

however this brings a Page Not found error in TvDb's web site. The correct URL now is:

 

https://www.thetvdb.com/series/339268

 

So it seems you just need to adjust the way you build the URLs for this popular site.

Would appear TVDB links no longer work.  Not sure if this was a change in their site update or they are still updating, but there is no notice on the page like yesterday.  All links end up on the Home page.

They went offline yesterday for a website redesign, so I imagine when it's all done we'll need to update all of the links.

So they won't support the old urls?

 

Looks like it is on a to do list for today.

so adding new tv shows to Emby Server is not the best idea atm?

 

If your only using TVDB as a provider then that is a possibility.

@@dejavux2 Is anyone else seeing an issue with new TV Series added to your library, but the incorrect Episode Names are being pulled?

 

 

Image 1:  My folder.  This is a cartoon series from 1965 called "The Inspector".  The items were named correctly in my "AutoOrganizeTV" folder (which is the 'watch' folder), but brought into the Season 1 folder with the incorrect episode names.

Here is what is on The TV DB website for the same episodes:

I don't know if this has to do with the recent (very recent, like today) change that The TV DB website has made.  Everything looks different in there today.  I was on the site last night, and everything looked normal.

TVDB has been doing site migration and updating to their v3 api.  So from a Series standpoint you could see issues for a few days or longer depending on them.
