Comment(by r.d.vaughan at rogers.com):

 !!!! RELEASE v0.9.0 REPLACES ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS !!!!
 http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/6242/ttvdb_v0.9.0.tar.gz

 Fixes:

 1) Numerous Unicode issues resolved.

 2) Re sync with tvdb_api getting bug fixes and new features.

 Changes:

 1) The language option now requires that the prefered language is
 specified (e.g. -l es). If no language option is specified then English
 (en) is the default.


 Enhancements:

 1) Now when a season level Banner is not found then the top rated series
 level banner is returned instead. This feature had previously only been
 available for posters.

 2) Add series runtime (in minutes) to episode meta data (-D). It is always
 the same for each episode as the information is only available for the
 series.

 3) Added the TV Series cast members (combined with guest stars) as part of
 episode meta data. Option (-D)

 4) Added TV Series series genres as part of episode meta data. Option (-D)

 5) Added episode data selected specific to the a language see -l 'es'
 option. If there is no episode data for the specified language then any
 existing English episode data is returned. English is the default
 language. thetvdb.com wiki supported languages are (da, fi, nl, de, it,
 es, fr, pl, hu, el, tr, ru, he, ja, pt, zh, cs, sl, hr, ko, en, sv, no)

 NOTE: The new language feature has a limitation in that the -M option
 (series list) is still only in English. I am waiting on a tvdb_api fix and
 will issue a new release when the fix is available the parameters for
 ttvdb.


 NOTE: If you are already using ttvdb with mythtvideo downloads then you
 will need to change the ttvdb parameters on page 8/8. See this wiki page
 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ttvdb.py section "Configuring MythVideo 0.22 to
 use ttvdb.py" for details.
