MP-TVSeries v4.3.6 Release [2020-01-24] (3 Viewers)

[xppx]

I've done a first pass at adding custom handling for updates (basically series which have not ended and have local files...needs some fine tuning). I have noticed something wrong with season banners which I will investigate next.
I have attached a test dll if you want to help find issues and report here...

I tested it out on 26 series via MP Configuration and the API call works fine.

Only one thing I noticed which you did as well: season banners of newly added series (e.g. The Mandalorian) are not retrieved or not shown.

Overall you did a great job again @Itfearme!

Inspecting the banners.xml and comparing with how it looked before there is some important info missing:
* Season artwork is not present; (hence why it was not working)
* Rating/Votes for artwork is not set; (meaning the best artwork can't be chosen as default)

*Example Series Poster Before*

  <Banner>
    <id>1310057</id>
    <BannerPath>posters/5bae172571e68.jpg</BannerPath>
    <BannerType>poster</BannerType>
    <BannerType2>680x1000</BannerType2>
    <Language>en</Language>
    <Rating>6.4000</Rating>
    <RatingCount>5</RatingCount>
  </Banner>

*Example Series Poster Now*

  <Banner>

  </Banner>

Find attached a before and after xml so you can take a look.

I have the same problem, with the new dll the import wizard works fine but banners, artwork and background not work.
I have 2 series with this problem, the mandalorian and Gray's Anatomy.
thx for work.

@Sarevok81, there will definitely be some artwork issues with seasons, but the main art should work as far as I'm aware. You could try this from the configuration tool:
* Right click on those series, and select Delete (delete from database)
* Run import again.

If the artwork is still not present, can you attach your MPTVSeries.log (I recommend before doing the steps above, set your MediaPortal logging level to Debug from MP Configuration->General).

I think I found some changes regarding Fanart which may explain the missing Fanart...investigating now if workaroundable. It seems to be affecting the thumbnails in the Fanart Chooser when in MediaPortal (it still auto downloads fanart when importing as far as I can tell).

Whatever happened to good old fashioned QA.

 

[ltfearme]

Noticed some strange API results for Series matching e.g. Titans -> Mighty Ships and Grey's Anatomy -> Station 19. I will investigate why this is occuring.

 

[ltfearme]

Here is an updated test binary that fixes the Fanart thumbnails not loading in the Fanart Chooser window. Also a few other minor things addressed.

Big thanks as always [emoji4]
Yesterday while trying previous bin.
I have seen in log windows a lot of errors (403) if I'm not mistaken and was thinking it was related to wrong API key in TVS settings so effectively the API code wasn't correct but same 403 errors after changing it.
Will redo the test with new bin

Hey @Sebastiii, that could possibly be the TVDb UserRatings/Favourites API - I believe these are not working from what I have read. If that is the case, you can remove your Account ID from the TVSeries configuration.

Thanks will try that asap
