For quite a few tv shows no episode names in the nordic language exist, i.e. the episode name is in English. However, we do often have translated show titles.

I takes a lot of time to just copy paste every english episode name on TMDB instead of scraping a second episode language.

I do believe that the TVDB scraper has had this functionality for quite some time. It would be much appreciated if a similar scraping functionality could be implemented on the TMDB scraper.

With all due respect, the solution is not simple.  The idea of the solution is simple, but the implementation is not.  I'm the only one maintaining this scraper, and I have a full time job and a family.  I will try and find some time to look at it, but what you want adds complexity to both the code and the UI for the scraper to solve a very specific desire.  If anyone wants to take a stab at a solution, I'd be happy to review a PR.  All the code is here:

It's a TMDB problem. We have requested a fix for a few years, still waiting...

This means that all folders that were created with a version earlier than version 1.6.6 no longer receive the correct information.

With incorrect information I mean only English texts are displayed (plot,...).
The problem is that the scraper setting is saved when the directory is created.

up to version 1.6.5:

Code:

setting id="language"

from version 1.6.6:

Code:

setting id="languageDetails"

This means you have to re-read the entire directory so that everything is displayed correctly again.
For many TV shows, this process can take a long time.
I don't think that was the intention with this update to version 1.6.6.

I ask that you reverse the update as quickly as possible!!!
I think you could also integrate the new function without destroying the old setup.

Current solution to the problem is downgrading to version 1.6.5

My apologies for introducing a breaking change to the scraper.  Unfortunately now that it's out, changing it to try and not break things will just break things again.
