I'm running Version 0.28.2 on  openSUSE Leap 42.3 and having the same problem 
with theme Steppes 28.7.

The TMDB field where the series is defined is set to tmdb3.py_ and cannot be 
altered to point to The TVDB.com site where the TV series are held.

For example Harrow - https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=342568&lid=7
when you enter ttvdb.py_342568 the system changes it to tmdb3.py_342568
Which is the movie called "The Harrow"

Now all my recent TV series are being named as Movies and there appears now 
way to alter them back to the correct TV series name. Very frustrating
