Since the sitewide update of TheTVDB.com on May 1, 2018. This api library no longer works.

What changed on May 1st? The library has been updated for the V2 API which is the only breaking change I'm aware of, #57

Visit http://www.TheTVDB.com
Also the tvdb_api portion of tvnamer is erroring out... So I thought it prudent to post here.

If you are using a distribution's packaged version (of the API package and/or the end-user application which is built on it), it may be too old to be compatible with the new API.

I'm here because Ubuntu's packaged tvnamer also just stopped working for me (API calls failed with 503 errors). I uninstalled it and installed the latest tvnamer and tvdb_api with pip, and can confirm that this fixed the issue for me.

Closing - was an issue with using the 1.x version of tvdb_api. Not too sure who is managing the packaging for various platforms, but you'd need to ask them to update to the latest version if this is still an issue (or as confluence said above, install via pip)
