Thanks for this! I'll look at merging this in as soon as I can - I may implement it slightly differently, I'd rather a more specific check than catching tvdb_error as there could potentially be legitimate problems retrieving the actors info which shouldn't be suppressed

Any update? This is still a critical issue 😢

Back when I wrote this I also reported it to TheTVDB where it was supposedly ticketed to be fixed, but so far nothing has changed. Instead, they seem to be focusing on yet another major non-backwards-compatible API release...

I opened a ticket after not receiving a response on https://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=65534 and it will NOT be fixed (only in their next version of the API). So it is critical to have a workaround...
