TVDB Corruption

Help & Support
1

There are some issues with database entries in thetvdb.

The People’s Court is coming up as “Deleted” within Sonarr.

I reported this to them and this was their reply:

Unfortunately, due to a data corruption event, several series were lost. While we have recovered some of the data and images, much of it remains unavailable. If you wish to you are welcome to recreate the missing series and begin repopulating the data.

As many users may have reported the same series missing, if you are willing to help recreate the series, please ensure that someone else hasn’t already started doing so. As if any duplicates are found, we will remove the ones added later.

Thanks, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Looking at the error messages in Sonarr; for the series I have; they show that Mr Selfridge, Devils and Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway have also been “deleted”.

We’ve been redirecting the old entries to the new ones as they’ve been reported.

If you have the old and new TVDB IDs we can do that for these.

Both of those have been pointed at the new series, they should be good to refresh in an hour or so.

OK this explains why I was informed by Sonarr that Devils and one other show was removed from TVDB. This is just another reason to have multiple choice for importing show information. Take Emby or Jellyfin between them you can use IMDB, TMDB, TVDB, or TVMaze.

Thanks. These two now working fine.
