Hi all,
Version 4.7 of my community version of MP-TVSeries is now out. Link to the original post: MP-TVSeries v4.3.6 Release [2020-01-24]
The big change: you no longer need a TheTVDB subscription. If you don't enter a TheTVDB PIN, show details, episodes, cast and pictures now come free from TMDB (The Movie Database). There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to enter. Just install it and run an import.
If you already have a TheTVDB PIN (for Kodi, Plex, Emby or 4.6), enter it on the Online Data tab and it keeps using TheTVDB, just like 4.6. There's also a Source setting there if you want to choose for yourself.
Your library keeps TheTVDB's show numbers either way, so you can switch between the two without starting again. Shows that TMDB has without a TheTVDB number (lots of documentaries) are matched by name and year. A few shows aren't on TMDB at all. They stay unlinked for now, and I'm planning to add TVmaze as a backup for those.
It also includes everything from 4.6: show IDs read from .tvdb / tvshow.nfo / series.xml files, Trakt community ratings without the Trakt plugin, English titles for foreign shows, and plenty of artwork and import fixes.
I've tested it on my HTPC (MediaPortal 1.39) and on a laptop with a clean install and no PIN.

Before installing, close MediaPortal and MP-TVSeries Configuration, and back up your TVSeriesDatabase4.db3.
This is not the official release, and installing it is entirely your choice. If you don't like it, simply uninstall it and go back to the original MP-TVSeries you had before.
A big thank you to Damien Haynes and the MP-TVSeries team for all their work over the years. Show information comes from TheTVDB.com and TMDB. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
If you find problems, post them here or on the GitHub Issues page, and please include your MP-TVSeries.log.
