Sonarr version 2.0.0.5338: OS: Windows 10 Debug logs: Description of issue:
Sonarr is not finding shows that I know exist in TVDB:
Examples:
The Good Place (311711)
Botched (283193)
Disenchantment (340234)
Fear the walking dead (290853)
I’ve tried searching and adding by TVDB ID, I already have a large selection of all (before moving to Sonarr) but now I’m looking to import/ add & have Sonarr manage.

Searching for "Man with a Plan" or with its tvdb id doesn't work either.
If you turn on the trace level logs, you’ll see that the problem is with the Sonarr Proxy service. For example, if you go to the TVDB ID for Westworld (296762):
Sonarr doesn’t hit the same website you use to browse thetvdb, it hits thetvdb’s api, with which there were so many issues when they implemented the new version… So I’m not really surprised it’s broken again…
Thank goodness at any rate that Sonarr keeps its existing downloaded metadata when a series appears to have been deleted from the TVDB. Imagine the chaos if the existing metadata was being cleared every time this error occurred!
The problem is TheTVDB APIs ability to function properly for more than a couple days at a time which causes Sonarr to display incorrect data based on that response.
Thank you for the appraisal of the situation. Sonarr has been a great program for getting the series and TVDB had been the best at looking for the info to update Sonarr with.
If would be a great thing to be able to bypass the proxy and add our own API for the TVDB since we do if for everything else.
This might be a stupid question… but…
why don’t you add the “the movie database” or IMDB as a backup for the agent ?, or even better, add Trakt api to it for better services.
I know that there are some projects on github to make the integration between them, but its for more advance user that have the whole grasp of docker and whatnot.
ok, Ill give Traktarr a try and report back to see if its good.
I dont really like using docker on my synology nas environment, rather have program run straight from the system for better management. but hey… every bit helps right!
