    Have you guys checked the API folder (easy to access in last build for selected series)? Please attach your xml's for whatever language you are using if you are unclear how to inspect them.

    I just did a test with another language (Russian) on the TVShow "Evil", seems okay from my sanity test. Language was correct, identified episodes and downloaded artwork.

    NB: it seems that only language specific artwork was returned in the API:
    Code:
      <Banners>
        <Banner>
          <id>1392776</id>
          <BannerPath>posters/5d9abecb54920.jpg</BannerPath>
          <BannerType>poster</BannerType>

          <VignettePath>posters/5d9abecb54920_t.jpg</VignettePath>
        </Banner>
      </Banners>

    Only 1 artwork is available (Series Poster). It does not return english artwork as well, I don't recall if it did that before, I presume it did?

    It looks like it would be possible to get *default* series artwork from the series record if banners do not have any in specified language:
    Code:
      <Series>
        <id>363955</id>
        <Actors>|Mike Colter|Skylar Gray|Katja Herbers|Maddy Crocco|Aasif Mandvi|Dalya Knapp|Michael Emerson|Brooklyn Shuck|</Actors>

    @ajs, Into the Badlands and Elementary are okay.

    Elementary had last Season 7. I did notice it automatched with the wrong series so I had to change that (ID: 255316).

    The Mandalorian had artwork:

    Maybe test again as the data may have been refreshed on the API since you last checked.

    NB: there is no fanart:

    API seems to filter out fanart as it must assume its English!

    Question to ltfearme:
    I have noticed earlier that when TVSeries auto match it usually use the lowest numbered series if there are 2 of the same name. However that is usually the oldest one and 95% of the time the wrong one.
    Is this by design or is it a setting? and is that something you can look at since you are doing changes to the plugin now anyway?

    I'll see what I can do.
