TVDB API v2 update plans

[JohnKacz]

I made this comment here but thought I'd make a separate issue to ask this question.

Are there plans for tvnamer to start using the v2 API. I had this error as well and read that

This version of the API will continue to function until October 1st, 2017 at which time it will be discontinued

I too am interested to know if if there are plans to update this script to switch from the current V1 XML format to the V2 JSON format. The programer's API page currently looks like this.

The new V2 API was made public on 20:07, 25 April 2016 by Coco. The end date of October 1st, 2017 was made public on 22:49, 2 April 2017.

This means that only 6 months notice was given that they old API will be discontinued and that there are now only 3 months left before it will be turned off.

I'd also like to throw my hat into the ring for a shift to the v2 API if extra hands are needed

Oh, good point - there is some changes pending a bit more testing in dbr/tvdb_api#58 which should address this for tvnamer also

[Deathnerd]

So... No hands needed yet?

Seems like the work needs done on the tvdb_api https://github.com/dbr/tvdb_api/issues/57

[freedenizen]

Looks dbr/tvdb_api#57 and dbr/tvdb_api#58 have been closed.

Yes seems changes were actually merged in https://github.com/dbr/tvdb_api/pull/60
