I hate to ask this,but is anyone still working on this project?  Last update was ages ago,and has been working fairly reliably up until about a week ago. Seems like the connection to TVDB is no longer connecting. Hoping (well, not really) that I am not the only one having this issue.

I've had no problems with it and I maintain 2 separate instances of the software on two different libraries, one of the with over 500 TV series, 65000+ episodes.  The software has been one of the most stable pieces of software I've ever used.  No TVDB problems either.

I haven't experienced any issues either.  Continue to use it daily on over 80 different TV series.

Found the issue, TheTVDB is a steaming pile. Two of the shows that I was trying to update and upload new episodes for are not showing in tvrename, but they show fine on the site.  One being On Patrol Live ( 421076 ).  Really hate that site, too bad TVMaze wasn't used.

TheTVDB website is actually fairly good.  TheTVDB API that TVR uses can take a bit to refresh.  You have the option under Preferences to select which default data source you want to use: TheTVDB, TVMaze, or TMDB.  You can also selectively change the data source by specific TV series as well.  Sometimes "Force Refresh-ing" a TV series helps.
