Multiple database source

[devster]

Is it possible to use more than one source for tv shows episodes information?
My example is Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: on TheTVDB here there are very boring episode titles, while on TheMovieDB there are much more interesting titles (here).
How would I combine both to have the series info from TheTVDB but the episode title from TheMovieDB?

You could just use TheMovieDB?

First and foremost, merging TheTVDB and TheMovieDB data would only be possible if the SxE numbers match, at which point you may as well use TheMovieDB for everything because you'll get the same results.

Please make a thread in the TheTVDB forums. It would make sense to use proper episode titles. Not sure why nobody has added the appropriate episode titles yet.

I thought that using TheMovieDB would default the search to "movie" mode but after this I'll definitely switch to it to have more interesting names.

The reason they don't have nice titles is because the ones currently there seem to be the appropriate titles: here the source.

If you're using the GUI, then you can pick the TheMovieDB entry in Episode Mode.

If you're using the CLI, then you can use --db TheMovieDB::TV to force Episode Mode with TheMovieDB data.

If you're using the amc script, then TheTVDB is hard-coded and you won't be able to change that, unless you fork your own script and change the code.

btw: the "overview" on TMDB is not locked, so you can just update it
