[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 1279184, member: 52265"] I guess my point was not asking for money suggests there are no money concerns. Also last year he blogged that commercial support using tvdb had now enabled him to make it his full time job going forward (so presumably it was also paying him a salary on top of everything else so that he could quit his day job). Now hes used that time to invent v4 API and pay wall it. Hes also saying in the last 3 days none of this will affect Plex (paid plex pass or unpaid - how he knows this specifically he did not elaborate), so you would assume either they’ve settled on licensing (its certainly not going to require a user to have a subscription to tvdb) or abandoned tvdb. He says the running costs are several tens of thousand per month - unless hes a millionaire or very generous to us all, its already getting covered from somewhere? Couple that with magically abandoning the forums right before this subscription page appears (without it ever being announced), just poor taste if you ask me. Even Amazon didn’t go this flat out with imdb! I personally won’t part with a penny to it, of course everyone will have some opinion. I liken this to the IFTTT events of late. Got rid of that too and went to home assistant :) [/QUOTE]
