[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1289287, member: 109222"] Hi. Yes, TVDB has changed from a free service to a paid one a few years ago. So we needed to cancel TVDB support (as it simply didn't work any longer). In meantime it is possible for Open Source projects (like ours) to get a free API key. That's why we hopefully can add TVDB support again. But they are planing to change their API again in a few month. This means we need to do all the work again after the new API is active. So we will wait for the "new" API to re- implement TVDB again. The method with "TVDB-12345.txt" still is working. But for this to work, the TVDB- ID needs to be available on TMDB. This is often but not always the case.. But you also can use a "TMDB-12345.txt" file with the TMDB ID too. This ID always exists on TMDB (of course). It always is part of the URL to the series. Here is an example: 'ht tps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4588-er" is the link to the show "Emergency Room" (aka "ER"). The TMDB ID of this show is "4588" so you need a (empty) file named "TMDB-4588.txt" for "ER". This is valid for every series available on TMDB. I needed to add a space into the URL as the forum software always replaced those URL to a link, if they were recognized as an URL So instead of "ht tps" it has to be "https" By the way, you also can use "TMDB-12345.mkv" instead of "tt1234567.mkv" for a movie video to be identified 100%. if you (or TMDB) don't know the IMDB-ID of a movie, this may help. Example: "ht tps://www.themoviedb.org/movie/19995-avatar" is the URL to the Movie "Avatar". The TMDB-ID is in this case 19995 and the name that should be given to the video file is "TMDB-19995.mkv" (or whatever file extension it has). By the way, "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" has the TMDB-ID "11" so there is no fix number of digits for TMDB-ID... [/QUOTE]
