Is the new TV Series Agent API documented anywhere like the TVDB? Would really like to update my missing episodes script.
it is not as far as I know. every episode should have the TMDB, IMDB, TMDB guids in xml if that is what you are looking for.
Why not use the TVDB?
Not sure what you are showing me. When you make a call to get tv shows before the update they would come back like this GUID {com.plexapp.agents.thetvdb://92411?lang=en}. You can get the 92411 to search the TVDB for all episodes to see if you are missing any. The new shows come back like this {plex://show/60844302404320002c149cc9}. So if they don’t still maintain the TVDB key with the TV Show I need to know how to call the new Plex TV Series agent to check all the episodes. It was a cool tool but won’t work for any of the new shows.
Well the new version defaults to the Plex TV Show agent. I have a script that checks all of the series/episodes I have and then compares that to the ones listed in TVDB to see what I am missing. The new shows don’t return the TVDB key so I either need to find a way to get it or to poll the Plex TV Show Agent API for the series info instead.
that is the XML for an episode of TV show that was matched the new agent. We included the other GUIDs from those three sources in the xml for folks with third party tools that wanted them
Thanks. Sounds like it is there. Just need to figure out how to get it through the API.
Edit: But remember to use paging when calling /all endpoint!
And there’s also 3rd. Party tools to export, like:
I got it to work but not sure it’s the most efficient way. The InnerXml is available through the API call and I can check that for the TVDB. What I did notice is that the TVDB is not included in the XML for recorded shows. In my case I don’t care but just thought I’d mention it.
You can also request JSON with the accept header, if that’s better for you
