Replace dot with a plus sign in scraper api call for shows

[BiTeTHeBiGG 13]

Hi,

 

I have a huge collection of movies, series and animes.

 

I used before (and still using) Kodi.

I tried Plex, but was not what I expected from and the finally tried Emby and love it.

The main purpose is to use a centrlized DB.

 

What I am missing in emby is that the name parser (not for files but show/movie name) do not replace the dot (.) with a plus (+) sign for the scraper api call.

In this way when I search for a show named "Girls'.Last.Tour" the api call will look like this "https://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=Girls%27.Last.Tour&language=de".

The result of that call is empty. But when the dot is replaced then the link looks so "https://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=Girls%27+Last+Tour&language=de"and it will return a hit.

On Movies it seems to already operate that way.

 

Over the years I changed the namig of the directories so Kodi will recognize all my stuff (except for special items where I use a nfo file).

Is it possible that this change will be implemented in a future emby release so I do not have to identificate manually?

 

Than youk and best regards

Hmmm, we should be replacing it with a space. @@Happy2Play can you reproduce this?

Looks like you query TMDB both ways, but not TVDB.

will this just be an update to the tvdb plugin or we have to wait for new emby build?

Have you tried todays plugin update (TVDB v1.0.2.0)?  To me this issue should be resolved.

Thanks @@Luke and @@Happy2Play

 

I had to restart the server to get the updates (as dercibed in another post the api cannot be reached on my synology).

 

I can confirm that now it is working like a charm.

 

Really appreciate your efforts.

Best regards
