Title: When will MC be updating to theTVDB.com API V2?
Post by: elprice7345 on July 08, 2016, 12:19:23 pm

TVDB went live with their new API V2 on April 4, 2016.

I'm not technically knowledgeable enough to offer any technical assessments, but I do know from using other apps that interact with the new version, it is much faster.

The primary reason I'm asking is the API V2 sees changes made to the TVDB almost instantly vs. API V1 which takes some time to appear.

I believe MC will be forced to make the switch once TVDB deprecates the old API, but I vote to make the change sooner rather than later to improve the MC user experience.

We're following changes in the APIs we use, but understand that we don't immediately jump on brand new versions, as those often still have kinks to work out and whatnot. Certainly aware of the change, and its likely we'll change to it in MC22 at some point.

Thanks for the info! I would love to see API v2 sooner than later because of the speed improvements, but I understand your caution.
