No series.xml

Just noticed that TV series are no longer getting proper series.xml files. I’ve tried thetvdb v2 and v3, as well as imdb. Nothing generates the file anymore or fills in the file if it is missing. It does delete the file if it exists and you clear metadata. But then it does not recreate it on refresh.

What steps to reproduce? All my existing xmls are not having any issues. But if I clear metadata on any given series a refetch fails do to all searching via tvdb is no working "Unable to determine what show this is".

I can see something like this being a issue until TVDB resolves all of the v3 updates that has broke all media managing software.

Similar steps to reproduce, but I have tried with all three available fetchers:

imdb
tvdb v2
tvdb v3

None of them creates a series.xml file, but they do create other metadata items like images, nfos and files inside "season" folders.

IMDB returned series and created series.xml. v2 and v3 came back unidentified, but TVDB is still jacked up.

And doing a fetch via ID only IMDBid worked and provided series.xml.

Lots of issues at thetvdb:

Just can't do much from my end about it.

Yeah, I don't know what the problem is here. It has nothing specific to do with TVDB. It simply won't recreate the series.xml file. On the UI it says "<Errror>" for the series title but the individual seasons are still there. Nothing I do seems to fix it, including clearing the cache.

Yes there is a bug where the UI displays <error> when metadata is cleared. I assume some sort of database error since "clear cache and perform full media list refresh" resolves the <error> listed.

Can you post the debug log of you doing a fetch on the item.

Try today's update, MCM v2.19 build 32419.947 -- either TVDb v2 or v3 should be working appropriately (preferably v3).

No series.xml [SOLVED]
