TVDB API tester

TV Rename (Mark),

I'm having a problem with TVDB's API, I think.  Before I approach them on their GitHub, I'd like to be sure.

The problem is with the TV show, Law & Order, Season 23, Episodes 3 and 4.  The TVDB website lists 3) as "Turn the Page" and 4) as "Unintended Consequences".  This is the correct order.

TVRename shows the order as the opposite.

I have Forced Refreshed, both the show and All, for about two weeks now, with no change.  I have run the TVDB Accuracy Check, probably just as much, with the same bad results.   I feel that this is not a TVRename problem but a TVDB API problem.  Is there any utility that makes it easy to actually test what value is listed on the API for a certain episode?  I've read the docs on how to do it manually via terminal but, to be honest, I really don't understand it.  I am a TVDB member and therefore have my own ID/key.  All I need is a program to do the job for me.  Do you know of one or, dare I ask, could you slap one together for me and the other TVRename users?  Once I am sure it is an API problem, I would be able to either write up a Ticket or enter an Issue on their GitHub site.  From experience, the GitHub route usually works faster.

Thanks!

Yes, you can use this:

Looks OK for me though in TVR:

The link above also shows its OK:

Double check you don't have any season rules active

Thank you for the Swagger site, but it won't let me use it.  As a Subscriber and not a Developer, they only give me a "Legacy API key" and not a v4 one.  $12 down the drain.

As per your comment, I did double-check the season rules.  Nothing there for Season 23 of Law & Order.

I'm stumped at what is wrong.  I even tried to Swap episodes 3 and 4, but it also brought the date along with it.

I hate the idea because I'm dealing with 23 Seasons, but I may have to delete the show and start again with it from scratch.  If you say the API is right, I can't believe after so many Force Refresh, Force Refresh All, and TVDB Accuracy Check, it hasn't fixed itself yet.  Any other ideas?

I don't believe this!!!  I decided to do another Force Refresh on Law & Order before I deleted the show and started fresh.  The order is correct now.  Now, hopefully it stays that way.  I'm in shock.  I've literally done Forced Refreshes, sometimes multiple times a day, for the last two weeks.  Totally Bizarre.
