Trouble with meta data look up. #89

Closed Chewer closed 10 years ago

Chewer commented 11 years ago

Can't seem to look up Burn notice.

WARNING:No appropriate metadata found for 'Burn.Notice.S06E18.Game.Change.720p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H264-NTb'

Which is odd, since it's there on thetvdb.com when I do the look up manually. Anyone else seeing this?

Follow up, looks like there's a problem on the thetvdb.com side. They moved their API and broke something, lots of other apps are broken the same way.

The problem, as I experience it, is at both ends. TVDB.com has been really slow/really buggy and sometimes completely unresponsive/unavailable for the last few months. That's one end. VM is not very graceful when this happens. That's the other end. The problems at TVDB cannot be fixed from here, but the other end should be fixable.

Suggestion: How about a preferences toggle to turn off the metadata lookup ? That should be reasonably easy and quick.

Other ideas involve making a local cache of the metadata that might be locally editable / updatable, but I do not know how doable or practical such a direction is.

You can turn off the automatic metadata lookup. It's and entry in the same popup menu that has the manual search.

And I know about the problems being experienced by thetvdb. I'm thinking about ways to solve the problem. They do drops of all their data from time to time, so I've thought about hosting the data myself, for the use of VM. Stay tuned...

Everything looks fine on theTVDB now. Closing.
