Issues list after testing #1

    • [x] API Search - Seems to download a phenomenal amount of data- over 4,000,000 characters. See Search.zip file
    • [x] No IMDB ID - Many addons require the IMDB ID to interface correctly with a users library. ID's can come from TVDB, IMDB, TMDB, TV Rage, an addon can never tell where the rating comes from, especially as many 3rd party media managers do not specify the rating source, instead using "default".
    • [ ] No Ratings - Users expect ratings. From what I have seen, Ratings at TVDB disappeared with the website change a couple of years ago. Users default to IMDB ratings (and some of the more experienced users can grab RottenTomatoes and Metacritic). To fetch these ratings IMDB ID's are required. Will be left to third party addons.
    • [x] No Actor images - No links to the actors images are scraped, so no images are displayed.
    • [x] No show status - (Ended, Continuing)- Missing though I see it is on the website
    • [x] Language is not respected. Scraping in Italian, English posters are scraped for TV Show and Seasons. This will cause a lot of complaints from users with non-english setups.

Item 3 will require accessing an external service, e.g. IMDB to fetch ratings.
