Parsing the wrong dvd order xml files from thetvdb

Hi

I had some trouble with the metadata from thetvdb, so I fixed at the site the dvd order episodes

Now when I remove the cache for that tvdb id, and let emby fetch the new xml, it seems that the information is correct in the fetched xml, but parsed wrong to the cachefolder.

The series in question is Uki (https://www.thetvdb.com/series/uki), I removed the cachefolder 183141/ and let Emby refresh the metadata. In the logs there's the call to https://www.thetvdb.com/api/B89CE93890E9419B/series/183141/all/nl.zip , and the xml therein really contains dvd season 5 entries... but the resulting xmls in the cachefolder are these

(no dvd season 5 entries)

Curiously, the episodes that I fixed at thetvdb are the ones that are wrong here... I attached my server log, the last part (from timestamp 2021-08-21 21:51:12.290 is where it starts)

Also, for the same series, because the images on thetvdb all have metalanguage 'english' (and I ask for dutch images) there's no way for me to get those images... but I'll make a separate issue for that problem ;)

@timconinxWhen did you correct them?  As it take 24 hours for TVDB api to update website changes.

I will test some more but I had no issue changing the Display order to DVD on the Series and refreshing the Series but in English.

I will retest changing language.

Note I refreshed with Netherlands and got same results as above but with selected language.

@Happy2Play It seems to have worked... which was strange because I edited another series that day on thetvdb, and I got the updated information during the first identify, thanks for testing!

As for the images problem: my current workaround is to first set the metadata language to english, do a refresh metadata including images, and then change the metadata language back to default (dutch), and do a refresh without including images.

It's strange that when the metadata isn't set to english, even the function 'edit images' doesn't show other existing images when sliding the switch to 'all languages'... but the workaround does the trick...

Thanks again
