ok, it is actually happening. API calls and stuff are now 10€ per year. How this will affect trakt ?

Another point: According to the Contribution Bible of TMDB their are not allowing an own translation. “We currently only support the original episode titles and original translated episode titles (i.e. the first TV/digital/physical title for each language).

As a lot of you have pointed out, this is a major job to get all shows on equal level. I think the work should start with show by show as they match. For ongoing shows the data may change from day to day, so it’s better to move off-season, or asap as they match.

What would the approximate cost increase be for each VIP user (per year) if Trakt.tv just distributed/pushed-out the TVDB’s API fee to them? i.e. don’t change from using good TVDB data

I don’t know those details. It’s a flat fee per app afaik. Or users can pay for access directly. Both options don’t work for Trakt unfortunately.
