BMT 4.8 / Phoenix 2.2.1 - Metadata Fails/Succeeds With Provider Toggle ?

[kcormier]

As can be seen above, I have updated the specified plug-ins and have noticed that metadata lookups seems to require toggling for a successful lookup:

1. My TV providers are set to TVDB,IMDB (i.e., TVDB preferred)
2. I perform a search with data that I know is right (directly from tvdb.com)
3. The lookup fails (no results)
4. I toggle the provider (on the search dialog) to IMDB
5. I perform the search and something is found (IMDB does have some data)
6. I toggle the provider back to TVDB (not touching any other fields)
7. I search and match is found

I originally thought there might have been a provider (TVDB) service glitch yesterday after the updates but this "toggling" worked consistently for 3 series recordings.

A failed lookup seems to correspond to the following type of log:

Is it possible the corrected "use the identified provider" behavior is somehow not using the defaulted provider and the toggling kicks it ?

Hmm - just as an experiment, on the initial search dialog, I toggled to IMDB and then back to TVDB - the search always works - this seems to prove active changing of the provider fixes some issue.

I'm sure if this matters... but BMT does not support imdb as a TV provider. TVDB is the only TV provider that works, for TV.

That being said, it should still work, and use tvdb first, and the go to imdb last, and then fail, if it can't find anything.
