TVDB sync seems broken and shows are missing

Short description of the issue

  • Shows that are only on TVDB seem to not have their data updated for the past two weeks.

Detailed description with additional context about the workflow

Neither the show nor plays for it are there anymore. I did find some other shows like that who just seem to be gone without a trace now.

Was there some recent change? I use trakt for keeping up with the shows on YouTube I watch. Most of them can’t be added to TMDB because their rules don’t allow that kind of shows.

If they are, for some reason, being removed from trakt a heads-up would have been good because now there doesn’t seem to be a way to even get that data back.

Thanks

It may not be broken. It was always the intention to fully move over to TMDB and it looks like they finally pulled the plug on TVDB. I just noticed roughly 100 shows and 10 thousand plays removed. Thank goodness I got a backup just last night.

A heads up indeed would have been nice.

Seems like all the shows that had tvdb id and imdb id is missing.

I can’t find the show at the bbb

THETVDB.COM SERIES ID354788

On IMDb there is several

Just to name a few

LOL - more chance of hell freezing over.

This is the straw that’s broken the camels back for me. I’m sick of the utter contempt we’ve been shown.

“You don’t need automated backups anymore, we’re in a different place” - tell that to the 543 plays that have been wiped out for me between the last time I remembered to take an export and today, because data has silently been deleted by the Trakt team

I’ve noticed a large chunk of YouTube shows have just been removed, out of nowhere, day by day. TV Sins, Jeremy Jahns, Dan Murrell, Chris Stuckmann, Dude Perfect, etc.

Yep, shows that only exist on TVDB because they would get deleted on TMDB for not being “studio productions”.

Also seems like shows that have a TMDB-ID are still there even if their main source is TVDB. They are not getting updated though.
