Thank you so much!!  I spent about 2 hours trying to figure it out. They both do work perfectly.

Today, I found that TVDB changed their website, removing their "advanced search" page, soooo....

Here's updated links for MC...

Code: [Select]

<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">TVDB (Search)</Item>
<Item Name="Action">1</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">http://www.thetvdb.com//search</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">http:////www.thetvdb.com//search?q=replace([series],/ ,+)&amp;l=en</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Sub Type]=[TV Show] -[Series]=[]</Item>
</Link>
You can, as always, edit the "action" to suit your preference, and also, if desired, edit the language used in the search. This uses English. Change the "en" at the end to pick a different language.

I've also been getting pretty good results bypassing search and going directly to the series page...

</Link>

In case others come across this topic and like me wonder at the use of square brackets in syntax. The link below is well worth the read time.

Because fields are so frequently used in expressions, an abbreviated form called square bracket notation exists for accessing their values. This makes it easier to both read and write expressions. Nonetheless, both forms are equivalent. The abbreviated form is simple: immediately surround the field's name with opening and closing square brackets, for example, [album]. The previous example is now written more simply as:
fixcase([album], 3) "https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Expression_Language"

Sometimes I want to share a song that I'm listening to with a friend who uses Spotify. I've found this to be the best search combination that gets me straight to the exact track.
