Title: TVDB lookup no longer working on v21
Post by: the-order on November 22, 2019, 03:09:02 pm

Been using JRiver for a long time and past week the lookup tv/movie info from TVDB hasn't worked all week long. It finds results for the show but has no data. Tried various times through the week to no avail. Decided to install the trial for v25 of JRiver and it is working in that version without problems. I haven't seen the need to upgrade from v21 at this point but now I guess I have no choice? Any ideas?

It looks like they are updating their API again: https://forums.thetvdb.com/viewforum.php?f=122&sid=055dd96b076db63eae74b7328f98b6aa

I know there have been changes before, that JRiver had to accommodate. Maybe they have kept the old v1 API working, and hence MC21 working, up to now, and things have changed with the latest TheTVDB.com changes.

Ah yes: "v1 API Episode endpoint returns auth token error even when API key is provided" from the known issues list: https://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=122&t=60239
It looks like they may fix that.

The easiest solution right now would be to upgrade to MC26, which is due for release soon, and in the meantime install the latest MC25, for which the MC26 licence will work.

Thanks for replying and I guess I should upgrade, just never needed to up until now.
