Introduction
TheMovieDB scraper consists of two scapers as follows-

- metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org- Used for scraping TV Show metadata and artwork from TheMovieDB database
It is important to be aware that these are two separate scrapers. They must be individually enabled if required.
When adjusting scraper settings you must make the adjustments on the Source using Change Content from the Context Menu when highlighting the Source. Do not make changes through the Add-ons menu option. This only sets default options and will not change existing settings attached to Sources.
