Same thing, provided that you've authenticated properly beforehand.

TheTVDB.com ?  Our Plex server just had issues with V3 of their API.

Yeah, that's one of the last things that keeps us from using JSON for settings files instead of .ini files.  It's just too damn hard to keep the braces all straight manually.

Whenever you have something I can have a look at so I can start work on a reader/writer client I'd be happy to received it.

Not surprised - if you can switch to TVMAZE.com - for tv series the plot descriptions aren't quite as good as TheTVDB but its a lot easier (once you've figured the JSON out)

As with other text formats it depends on how complex you want to make it. My nlhStrTable has single row per row capabilities which coped well with TheTVDB layout since it returned multiple rows with one row per "line". TVMAZE provided multiple rows as an array of rows. I also found that https://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer is an invaluable tool for figuring out what's there to start with.

Cheers
