Issues With TheMovieDB Metadata identification

[shotblocker]

Here is my log for example when I try to pull data from TheMovieDB for "Tropic Thunder." I have read similar issues of it possibly being a DNS issue, but it doesn't seem to be the case. However, I am open to any and all suggestions.

Code:

I'm seeing the same messages in my log starting a couple hours ago. And I've seen a couple other users start reporting this issue.

It is likely something on TMDB's end. I'm looking around for confirmation.

Thanks! Will keep an eye on the issue.

The workaround is to have the TVDB plugin installed and as your secondary image provider. I didn't notice any issues since my setup was falling back to TVDB. Once I poked around did some testing, TMDB definitely changed something on their end.

Seems ReleaseData changed in the API
