I’m having the same issue with lots of shows. Here are two examples:

https://www.thetvdb.com/series/american-greed

Was going to start a new thread but will add here. Same issue when trying to add Treadstone either by name or TVDB ID 366090

“Couldn’t find any results”

I found this thread, which has a post that references a change from the TVDB which is likely the root cause:

Well i guess it is TheTVDB…

Woke up to a whopping 1500+ Deleted Shows warning this morning… Sigh…

<crybabyrant>
You know i am not one to disparage a free service but with the snobbish way they lock series because they think they know better or refuse to acknowledge common sense, i am really tired of them…

If i was able to get a dump of that metadata, i would definitely invest in creating an alternative and fix up all annoyances and definitely put out an API after it’s been thoroughly tested.

Is there a fix to this?
I have a show i can find in the TVDB website and it lists the ID but Sonarr wont recognise it.

https://thetvdb.com/series/the-trial-of-christine-keeler
THETVDB.COM SERIES ID 354087

Sonarr seems to think this, and the name of the show is invalid.

sonarr
3.0.3.687

Great in concept but unless software adopts it, it wouldn’t matter. Kinda the problem here is only supports tvdb (by choice) so it wouldn’t help.

Check the link 2 posts above yours…
