Yes, that's what I was pointing out earlier, the old way of setting
the season to 1 and episode to 1 is no longer required for the later
download to work.

Before the inetref was searched, and only later would it search for
artwork. So you had to find a way to connect the inetref to TV or
movie, and that was done by setting the S / E

I thought the season / episode was only used to get artwork now. I
didn't think it would override any data set by the EPG...

Personally, I prefer some artwork about the series, than none at all...

So I had intended to add any fallback mechanism today, where when it
can't find the artwork for a particular season / episode

it looks for the artwork of the generic series instead.

I had a serie yesterday, which start at season 16 on TTVDB. So if you
attempt to download arwork for a repeat which is S3E5, it won't have
anything.
and right now, myth just leave it without artwork.

I thought it would be best to get what's there, and get the generic
one (which you retrieve by providing no series or episode to ttvdb.py)
