minos 14 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 According to this post in the tvdb forums, the API issues from January 10, 2020 should be fixed. https://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=122&t=60239 I just refreshed the metadata for one of the series that was affected over the last couple of days. Metadata updated correctly and season images downloaded. Here only for the main poster, not the season posters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluxan 0 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm only getting main posters and not season posters. Anyone in the same boat? Also, when I go to edit the library, the only option in the list for season metadata is the moviedb but the tvdb is available for episodes and shows :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawazi 1 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) UPDATE: I removed the Star Trek folder, rescanned the Library, and then added it back, and rescanned the library, changed the series to DVD order, and the only thing that fixed was the episode thumbnails. Emby is still expecting my files to be numbered in aired order, even though I've selected DVD. I'm curious to see what absolute order would do, since I assume that should expect the files to be numbered absolutely rather than aired order. Also, I think this post is in the wrong place, since this appears to be an Emby issue, and not a tvdb issue. I'm still having an episode numbering issue with my Star Trek. With DVD order selected, Emby now displays the correct order, but seems to be expecting the files to be named in Aired order. This was not the case before. Do I need to rename all of my episode files so that they are in Aired order? Also, the episode thumbnails stubbornly resist updaing, and still show the image for the Aired ordering. So, as of right now, I have a three way mismatch. The displayed order is DVD, the thumbnail is Aired, and the filename name associated is the aired order of the correctly displayed episode (which means the wrong file, since I have them numbered in DVD order). Here's a screen clip: So, in this example: Thumbnail is from The Man Trap, the episode name and info is for Where No Man Has Gone Before and the filename is for Mudd's Women.

Happy2Play 8296 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Yea the urls are ok it's just that if you look at the xml, the images have the wrong season number assigned. @@Luke can you elaborate on what is missing? https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/79269-tvdb-api-issues/?p=829939 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Well instead of the BannerType2 node saying season, it now says 680x1000. I can add a workaround for that easily but that's not ideal as it will have to be updated periodically over time for new image sizes. Here's a tvdb update with the workaround that you can start testing. I tested this with a couple series and it seems to be OK, but a couple weeks ago things were much worse so this will need a little testing before we can publish it. Watch out for seasons coming up with the wrong posters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djvilla 0 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 ***UPDATE*** Emby still will not find metadata when selecting Identify or Refresh Metadata. Correction Synopsis can be found sometimes; but never images; actors; etc. To work around this I have started downloading my own images from fanart.tv and simple image searches on my favourite search engines. The synopsis does not populate until after I click refresh metadata. The images never show up; and when I click Identify often no search results come back OR search results come back and the images are never stored. Fanart.tv is awesome for logos and pngs Search engines are great for still images for backdrops I hope someone fixes this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37100 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Appears to be working in my tests. How many series did you try? Dexter is one series in particular that i remember having incorrect season posters, and it seems they've corrected that now. So that's encouraging.

If users are seeing Wrong Season poster I can raise the issue on their forum or the user can raise the issue. But I don't see TVDB being back to the way they were anytime soon.

ponch 2 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 After twenty pages of reading peoples different results I am now completely confused. All meta data works for me except season posters, it has been like this since my last post on back in November year... I've been using the Mandalorian to test since TVDB decided to monumentally screw their API. The have already spent an unacceptable amount of time to get the basics of their API fixed. (Thanks to @@Luke and @@Happy2Play for trying to keep everyone calm during this period of WTF.) Can I please get the following clarified: (I'm currently using TVDB 1.0.24.0) 1. Are Season posters available in the TVDB XML (Y/N)? 2. Is Kodi able to get season posters correctly (Y/N/)? 3. Is Emby able to get season posters correctly (Y/N)? If Emby is able to get season posters, What are the exact steps do I get them in to my library? I have a lot of shows now without season posters and keeping track of them for fixing later is starting to become a pain. @@Luke can you maybe stick Emby's TVDB status at the top of this thread, as what you've put there already been superseeded with 1.0.24.0, and having actual working/not working statuses would save people for from having to read 20 pages and still not having a definitive/clear answer to the current issues Emby is having with TVDB? It sucks that the Emby team is having to deal so much with an issue that is essentially caused by a 3rd party that obviously have no f'n clue about software release cycles or how to regression test correctly. Good job to the Emby team... WTF to the TVDB team, Get your shit together, f'n test before you release, and don't release broken APIs FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
