TV preview access
publicado por Travis BellSTAFFMOD el 4 de octubre de 2013 a las 12:47
TV has been brought out of the private preview and is now available for everyone to see.
Please read the information below.
Please understand that this is indeed a preview. While there was plenty I could test while I was developing this feature on TMDb, being stuck in a vacuum like that can only expose so many things. If you find a bug please report it on this thread.
What I would like you guys to do is search for your favourite shows and look through the data that was imported. We're still importing data in the background so not all of your favourite shows will be here yet. This import is expected to take a few more days still (as of October 10, 2013). Please do not report missing shows until I have said the import is done.
When you're looking through things, there's one primary thing I would like you to keep an eye out for and that is, shows that should clearly have a season or more but don't. There was a small issue that seems to have affected a percentage of shows (I think around 2%) where their seasons were not imported. Please report those below.
What can you help with?
The data that was imported is real world editable data. If you see an error, fix it. This is the point of giving you guys access. With more of you trying to edit different things we'll discover the bugs and issues faster. There's a list of known issues below.

Is this only available on the web or can you use the API to get the information now as well? I can't find information on that in the docs

The API is being worked on this week. There will be a separate thread for that once it's in a testable form.

A question from the Content Issues section: "How do you add a year(s) to a series? I can't find that function on the editor mode."
I assumed it was by adding an Original Air Date, but I can't seem to find how to do it. (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/53050)

And we finally have a TV API to play with: http://www.themoviedb.org/talk/526963d5760ee3490201c360

I was going to move the credits from this profile to his original profile, but I can't find him anywhere on his TV entries. Is this because they are empty? How can I make them appear?
Also, I added a season to this entry while I was testing, but I couldn't find out how to add an episode. This is probably something really simple that I'm missing...

Those look like shows that were potential victims of the season import bug. Basically, the credit connection was made but then we failed to bring in a season (and therefore episodes). I'll have to see if there's a way to either show the credits or just get rid of them.
Just go into the season edit area, click "Episodes". Ie. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/54300-allt-faller/season/1/edit?active_nav_item=episodes

Thanks Travis! I guess I'll wait with fixing those if they may be deleted due to the season import bug.

Over the last few days I've come across something a little annoying. Last week I moved all the TV-credits from one Giuseppe Andrews profile to his old one. On the now delete profile, a simple refresh showed that all the credits had been removed. However, as of today the credits still haven't showed up for me in Chrome on the 4133 profile.
I know they are there, though, since they showed up immediately in Internet Explorer. I've tried deleting cookies etc, but still no change. Can someone else try this? Maybe it's just something wrong with my Chrome.
The same thing has happened for a few other persons too. Matthew Harrison should have one directing credit for the TV-series Popular (1999). Again, it instantly showed up in IE but not in Chrome.
(Edit: And I should add this has never happened for regular movie credits.)

Hmmm. Something is requesting them and only caching the movie credits.
They are there now (I cleared the cached for those 2 people):
I'll have to give this some thought as to where that initial request is coming from.

Another little bug I just came across: Whenever I try to add a guest star who isn't already in the database nothing happens. Save won't do anything and I have to hit cancel.

Not really a bug per-say, I haven't hooked up creating new people via the TV interfaces yet. Ticket for that is here.

Hi Travis,
First off, a little bow down to the efforts providing this, in the TMDB API format, I really hated using TVDB, and am glad I can make a much more re-usable implementation now that's reliable. ( Downloading zip files and extract these to attain the xml with data?! ... Arg... )
I've noticed the API currently cannot interpret what "tvshows" an actor plays in, and it would be nice seeing this added.
As you might have seen in the topic http://www.themoviedb.org/talk/52746c4c760ee3572b0d9763 I'm actively working on a as I would call it a decent PHP Wrapper ( I've done my research on my "competitors", and was not satisfied ), the current state can be found at https://github.com/wtfzdotnet/php-tmdb-api , do note however I do not recommend using this in an production state yet ( unless you would restrict yourself to using the API namespace ). As soon as most of the modeling is done I'll also add a cache plugin, to make sure the TMDB won't be overthrown with requests as long as the wrapper is used properly.
