I've been trying to update TV shows using TheTVDB scraper in Kodi on my Q10 Pro. Currently it is causing Kodi to crash out into Android. I know there has been a big update to TheTVDB website so I'm wondering if Kodi hasn't caught up with it yet? Has anyone else had any problems doing TV episode updates?
Using TMDB works.

Yes I had the same problem in Q10 Pro. Then I removed all the references to TVDB, instead pointing the TV shows to TMDB. The scan is working fine now.
From a forum from Kodi I understand that there is an ongoing issue with TVDB API.

Thanks for the confirmation. I should have thought to ask here first. I did a factory reset and reload of my last backup before I cottoned on to what was going on. Doh!

This problem has now been fixed with a new version 3.0.16 of TheTVDB scraper. If your installation has autoupdates active then it should fix itself, otherwise you may need to select addons/all/thetvdb/information and select update.

More problems with this scraper. v3.2.2 is faulty. Apparently it is being investigated but in the meantime if you have autoupdate active and programme searches are failing, I would suggest dropping back to 3.2.0 and turning off autoupdate until the fixed 3.2.3 or later is available. Unless you have done a full reset recently the older release should still be in local storage.
Alternatively you could use TMDB instead.
