    Why not join forces with @ltfearme and create a single MP-TVSeries?
    Right now I don't have the capacity to review the code changes done by @Hound_dog but do appreciate any effort he does to provide the community options.

    I don't work on TVSeries much these days unless something critical requires addressing like the series lookup recently, this has now been resolved in the latest release by providing an option for tvdb ID lookup and also updated the automatic search by series name to use the v4 API effectively making it operate the same as it did before the v1 API was broken).

    Note: the v4 API features the plugin uses does not require a user PIN and hence is free to use. The plugin uses an agreed commercial API key which does not require a subscription, because of this it does not support user ratings or favourites from tvdb so that has been disabled. Adding the subscription-based features is not hard, but I doubt those features would be popular enough to bother implementing.

    I usually only work on the plugin if I think of a new use case for myself or family and quite frankly there has not been anything new required for quite some time now hence the reason to not get too involved with these AI updates (it would require quite a bit of time for review and testing before integrating everything). If I was going to implement multiple providers, I would probably want to create a fresh new plugin.

    Hi Thanks for letting us know your situation. Do you think you could do me a favour and try out my version to see what you think of how it works to review it for everyone. Thank You Mark
