API and Ombi Issue

[causefx]

Another Issue, with API or searching in general....

Was playing with API again today and my GF was requesting a new show... Loudermilk

So i passed the info through to the API with the tvdb ID 328774
https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=328774

API returns true but no data passed... So i look at the Ombi logs and see this...
2018-04-19 20:03:47.187 -07:00 [Error] StatusCode: NotFound, Reason: Not Found, RequestUri: http://api.tvmaze.com/lookup/shows?thetvdb=328774

Sure enough nothing comes up in that API with that ID... so I goto tvmaze and check it out and it appears that they do have they show... but with their own API...
http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/19355/loudermilk

So i make my way over to OMBI to do a search for this show...and to my surprise... it finds nothing..

What API are you using to search for shows? If the API takes the argument of tvdb why not scrape tvdb for movie info?

Let me know what I can do... Thanks.

It uses TV maze but we check if the TVMaze API has TheTvDbId. Looks like they do not in this case.

What would be the remedy for this as there has been others that are not in tv maze with tvdb id...?

[tidusjar]

There is no remedy, Ombi requires TvDb to identify things later on down the line.

Correct, which i have. The problem is you use TVmaze to scrape initially which doesnt always have or match with tvdb.

Yeah I don't plan to change this. The benefit of TVMaze in d that u don't need an API key.
