Title: TV Show backdrops, on Danish TV Shows not showing
Post by: xplain on May 10, 2011, 12:32:41 pm

Must say this is very cool, but I have one issue

I have a danish tv-show called "Anstalten", and MC wont create backdrops
for this serie, I checked on TVDB, and the serie is in there database,
I think it wont create backdrops for this serie as it only appears as Dansih on TVDB.
All my other series works fine, and gets nice backdrops.

Is there anyway to fix this, or is it maybe an issue over at TVDB.

Thanks
Thomas

This is the search at TheTVDB:
http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=Anstalten

Is it possible Anstalten needs an umlaut?  Or are there alternate spellings?

Thanks for quick reply

No it is spelled "Anstalten", but it seems to only exists in danish on there site, I dont now if that might be the problem.

Thanks for the research.

I think it would probably be safe to always search all languages, because when a series appears under multiple languages, it uses the same series ID for all the languages.

We'll try to add this to a coming build.

Coming in build 89 and later:
Changed: When looking up a series from TheTVDB.com for Theater View backdrops, all languages are searched instead of only English.

Please let us know how it works once it's public.

Thanks for the help.
