[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1261564, member: 18896"] No scan should still work. On old XML API v1 MP-TVSeries would make an API call like this one to find the show -- [URL]http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=Grey%27s+Anatomy[/URL] Then it would use that result to get a ZIP file containing all the data. TheTVdB updates those ZIP files at a certain interval if users make contributions, and on a locked series they will simply not be able to make those contributions, but the ZIP file will still be available. However, TheTVdB has been pushing API v2 for a while, and I don't know if MP-TVSeries got updated. If it did it would need to make a massive amount of JSON based REST API calls and maybe your system or internet connection is struggling to keep up?
