#333 TVDB Aired Order vs Netflix (Good Witch Season 1)

[dbareis]

Both IMDB and TVDB (Netfix) order show 10 episodes in season 1 of the Good Witch.

TVDB's Aired Order shows 8 so my last 2 episodes get reported as not being found.

Are there settings for changing from TVDB to IMDB or changing which order is used for TVDB on a series by series basis? I've looked though the options but if they exist I couldn't find them.

For IMDB : At my knowledge no applications are currently using IMDB for scraping series.

For TVDB : I invite you to read the answer I got here about alternate orders : https://sourceforge.net/p/mediacompanion/discussion/requestdeclined/thread/4e66caa8ca/
My question was mainly for TheMovieDB, but we have also spoken about TVDB.

Finally getting back to this, this is due to Netflix splitting episode one into two part, and also splitting episode 8 into two parts.

While I am not adding alternative orders than default and DVD.
The work-around is to scrape season 1 only in DVD order.
This give you blank entries for Episodes 1 and 2, and also Episode 9 & 10

These you can manually enter the title and plot for, fulfilling your data.
Remember to change Sort order back to Default again.

Apologies for taking so much time in responding to this old ticket.

Further investigation shows there is not DVDSeason or DVDEpisode values attached to S01E01, S01E02, or S01E09 & S01E10.
Which is why they come up blank in Media Companion.

Closing this ticket as unable to add data required to TVDB Series on their site
