When trying your sample code, the first few steps work just fine. Once I get to the step with west_wing = tvdb.get_series_by_id(results["seriesid"]), it get the error TypeError: can't convert String into Integer. I'm running ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]. I've also tried several other searches that result in the same error.

With both ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.3-p194 I get the following error (after "results = tvdb.search('the west wing')") when trying the example in the README file.

Why is this happening? As far as I could google it, it has to do with a Proc that can't be serialized.
Can this be fixed easily?

there is no method "get_seasons"

NoMethodError: undefined method `get_seasons' for #TvdbParty::Search:0x007ffa4708f518

Hello! I really appreciate the hard work put into this gem! But, I'm having some issues using this gem on a new project. The api requests work perfectly from my local machine, but when I try to use my site up on Heroku it will only connect sporadically.

I open up my connection to tvdb like it says in the readme

tvdb = TvdbParty::Search.new("MY_KEY")

and then I use this to allow a user to search by filling in a search box

results = tvdb.search(params[:Search]

Then, I use what they searched for to return the right results

show = tvdb.get_series_by_id(params[:series_id])

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a know issue with Heroku?

I think it is very inconvenient to output a string in the rescue clause in episode.initialize

I have overridden this in one of my scripts by setting @air_date to nil instead.
Otherwise there is no way to get rid of this output.

Is there a reason, why @air_date is not just set to nil instead? (This can be tested in a script, in contrast to just living with some garbage output otherwise)

BTW, this happens for shows that have show specials for example, which don't have dates set.

I'm trying something like this:

tvdbshow = tvdb.get_series_by_id(id)
lastshow = tvdbshow.episodes.last
pp lastshow

However, it looks like it's giving me the first show of the series. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi

Isn't the get_season method missing from search.rb?

At least series.rb assumes this metod exists when fetching all the seasons from a series (see line 71 in series.rb).

Hi, first thanks for the library.

I was using the original tvdb gem but decided to use yours because it seems more complete. I just found one flaw, at least on my opinion.

Calling for ex dexter.posters('en'), the object returned doesnt have poster's tvdb_id. I think would be a good idea return the id so we can keep track easily if we already have saved that image.
