Why is Plex metadata is obtained from thtvdb instead of Plex server?

[joshuaavalon]

When you click on the recently added, a card with metadata will pop up. But the metadata is obtained from thtvdb instead of the Plex server itself. What is the reason behind using thtvdb when you already have the Plex token? This is a problem for me because I am not using metadata from thtvdb and my metadata is not English.

Plex doesn't give full info. I will look into adding local info.

@causefx From what I see, the pop up uses, poster, background, name, overview and actors. I pretty sure PlexPy can show everything except actors

[causefx]

Correct. Actors is only thing missing. I'll looking to rewriting that portion. Calendar on the other handle will always grab from tmdb as we don't get any info from sonarr or radarr.

@joshuaavalon

i.e.

[causefx]

do you have time to test it out real quick for me?

[joshuaavalon]

@causefx I can try it. But I am going to have lunch =p

[causefx]

no worries, was going to have u log into mine.

[joshuaavalon]

How can I test it? You push it to dev branch?

[causefx]

nothing pushed yet as i want to see if it works. I will PM you on Gitter

[joshuaavalon]

@causefx Actually you can get the actor as well. For example,

How about calling only when the item is clicked? I don't think one extra call is to much.

[causefx]

Yea, I can plan for that for for everything beside calendar.
