Plex tvdb proxy down?

Having trouble matching series (specifically Blindspot in this case). Manual look up gives Ajax error. Is the proxy broken?

Same problem here :-/

Been down for about two days for me, with intermittent up-time.

I personally think its time for TV Maze to be added as either an official fallback or the new main scrapper as TVDB has been up and down like a yoyo for far far to long now, it it starting to get a bit ridiculous :frowning:

Added South Park and another series today and it cannot match those shows.

same issue for me with house of cards

Yep, no new additions today are picking up metadata. Manual refresh is not fixing it.

"INFO (logkit:16) - JWT Error: (HTTP Error 403: Forbidden) - " is what I get in my log any time an attempt is made to access tvdb2.plex.tv. Been looking for an alternate agent to use until this gets fixed with little to no luck. Basically everything is “TVDB or go f*** yourself” despite the seemingly large number of complaints i am finding ABOUT TVDB.

It seems that TVDB is blocking Plex Proxy:

Same issue.

You can add TVMaze as your MetaData Agent

Here is a link to Github

Here is an forum post on how to add MetaData Agents.

Look like TVDB is having server issues. I suspect they IP blocked plex users as a shortcut to reducing traffic quickly.

Exactly why it’s so short sighted to only have one metadata provider.

That works great unless you user your ShieldTV PMS server which doesn’t currently allow access to the plugin directory :frowning:

But TVmaze agent TVMaze agent does not recognize the subtitles with series

thetvdb.com is back up and immediately started working for Plex. At least for me.

Plex proxy is still banned if you goto thetvdb.plexapp.com. o.0

The server is back up again, but plex does not seem to be able to get the info from them :S So it might be from the plex end. Any thoughts?

So odd, I can get information no problem. Just added a few episodes and I was in business. I also went to Unmatch, then Matched it again after emptying the trash. Everything functions for me.

I am on the latest Plex release.

matching not working here

I’m on latest server and I’m having issues matching one ep of Mr. Robot. Not gunna lie, my OCD tendencies are in overdrive right now :frowning:
