#504 Scraper unable to find episodes on TVDB, despite being listed

[Peter Hodgson]

There's a certain series that the TVDB scraper just can't seem to locate:
TV Show+Series: The Repair Shop, s07.
Episodes 21,22,34,35,36,37,37 can't seem to be found, despite my manual ability to located them in the TVDB website at https://thetvdb.com/series/the-repair-shop/seasons/alternate/7
I've switched MC to use XBMC scraper too, but same result.
I've cleared caches in debug options, but same result.
Error log attached.
An example of my file system path for the series is:

• .\The Repair Shop\Season 07 -- The Repair Shop (2021)\The.Repair.Shop.S07E21.720p.WEBRip.x264-skopion.mp4*

My version of MC is 3.7.6.6, on Windows 11 24h2

Unfortunately this is a case where MC is unable to get a season order other than
Aired
or
DVD Order.

Production order lists 40 episodes for season 7.
Aired order list only 20 episodes for season 7.

This is largely due to the new API which is in TVDb's paid subscription, which MC is not going to use.

Thanks Rob, for the quick response and understandable explanation. I'll edit those files manually.
Just thought I'd report, in case of a bug... :)
Appreciate all your contributions, thanks!

Hi Peter

Yeah, sorry that we won't be moving to the latest TVDb api.
