CharleyVarrick 277 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hi Happy and others, is api4 being already use along with Emby by some? I was also wondering how v4 would interface with Emby. I imagine in Manage/Library/Edit/(Show advanced settings), in wich you add tvdb paying service connection fields; user/pass, or product key (?)

GrimReaper 3289 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Smooth move, there. Quote TheTVDB announced that the sunset of their (free) API v3 will be on October 1, 2021. With the sunset of TheTVDB API v3, the current implementation in tinyMediaManager will no longer be able to pull data from TheTVDB. TheTVDB API v4 is not free anymore (you can use it either via a subscription or by contributing to TheTVDB) - but we managed to negotiate a contract to make it possible to use TheTVDB without any additional subscription. Starting with tinyMediaManager v4.2 the implementation of TheTVDB API v4 is included with free access to TheTVDB for all PRO users. Users of tinyMediaManager v2, v3, v4.0 and v4.1 will lose the ability to use TheTVDB after October 1, 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what kind of deal they got? Edited August 18, 2021 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 @Luke @ebr Little over two weeks out, there needs to be an Blog/Announcement on what Emby is going to do. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3289 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Any movement on this front? I reckon it should've been already implemented, in order to identify potential issues and not wait till literally last day(s). As per TVDB, latest API related info dates Aug 17th: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a plugin update is currently being done, but yes it is to close to the cutoff, as the plugin is basically a rewrite for the new api. But with what the new api offers I would expect plugin updates for months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 So if the update isn't done for tomorrow, Emby will stop receiving information from tvdb until it is updated, correct? Is there an idea of what the process will be after the update? I need to purchase a key from tvdb? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 You will not have to purchase an api key. Our tvdb support will just work like it always has. We're being told that old api's will not be shut off just yet tomorrow (but soon), so that gives us a little more time to get the update released. The work is largely done and I expect to have a test build of the new tvdb plugin up today for those that are interested in trying it out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this still add the ability to choose "Alternate" episode orders aside from dvd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmack3000 84 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Will do. I assume the trickiness is that "Alternate" can go by any number of names show to show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmack3000 84 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 So something like this is using 'alternate" and then renaming it? https://thetvdb.com/series/long-way-down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 FYI, but with Emby currently having v4 access we just need continue testing the new plugin and let Luke know of any found defects. Quote Hi TheTVDB Community Member, As you may know from previous emails, we rolled out theTVDB’s new API (v4) in November of 2020. Since then, we have received and addressed valuable feedback from many projects that are currently developing against v4. If you are among those who have been using the new API, thank you, and please keep the comments coming! If you aren’t yet using it, we encourage you to migrate to v4 as soon as possible, so we can incorporate your feedback before we sunset our legacy APIs. On that note: if you are still using any of our legacy APIs (v1 and v3) you can rest assured that they will not be deprecated until we feel that the development community has had sufficient time to migrate over to v4. However, these legacy APIs will be turned off in the first half of 2022, so we encourage you to reach out and create a v4 API key so that your project can receive all of the beneficial new data that the v4 API has to offer, and so we can address any questions you may have. For any questions regarding v4, please reach out to us via support@thetvdb.com or our GitHub repo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
