 The current ttvdb.py metadata script appears to be using the TV DB version
 1 XML API. It was made public on
 [http://www.thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php?title=Programmers_API&direction=next&oldid=931
 April 2nd, 2017] that on October 1st, 2017 that support for the version 1
 TTVDB API will be discontinued.

 This means that the current ttvdb.py script will no longer be functional
 to retreive TV metadata from [http://thetvdb.com thetvdb.com]. I have not
 specified a version of MythTV for this ticket as this issue affects all
 currently supported versions.

 The [http://www.thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php?title=Programmers_API new
 version 2 TTVDB JSON API] was made public on
 [http://www.thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php?title=Programmers_API&direction=next&oldid=903
 April 25, 2016].

 I have also filled an [https://github.com/dbr/tvnamer/issues/138 issue]
 with the [https://github.com/dbr/tvnamer tvnamer] script that that the
 ttvdb.py was based on to alert them too.
