Add workaround for missing actors page #85

Open dbr opened 4 years ago

dbr commented 4 years ago

Accessing the actors API endpoint for a show with no actors added will throw a tvdb_error as if the show is missing.

This is technically a bug with TVDB - it should return an empty list of actors, not 404.. but we can easily workaround this in the API wrapper (a non-existent show will error before that point)

This ist still critical. The further down this has to be mitigated, the uglier it becomes, e.g. the only way to work around this is to have two tvdb_api.Tvdb instances, one of which does not query for actors, and have this one called if the first one errors out. Hideous.

Any update? I heard back from TheTVDB and they will not be fixing it on their end (only in their next API version...)
