A .NET class library for getting information about a TV show episode

Hi there 👋

tvshow-info's Issues

Lack of useful examples makes library unusable.

In the only provided example, step 3 states:
"Set the appropriate configuration values for your providers (like API keys) in the app.config or web.config."

And no further information is provided on what the keys are named or where they go.

I attempted to look in the tests folder and found a decent example of where the keys by examing the app.config file.

I placed my TV DB API key in the app.config file under configuration/appSettings named "TheTVDB_APIKey" -- when I try to execute the provided sample code the following exception is thrown "Unhandled Exception: System.ApplicationException: Missing Rovi API key or secret. Please include the Rovi_APIKey and Rovi_APISecret in the application config" when I call "showMgr.GetEpisodeInfoForFilename(filename)"

I'm not using ROVI though, and I don't see any information on how to tell the API to use the TV DB instead of ROVI. Is it using ROVI by default?

... so, I signed up for a ROVI account, I signed up for all three APIs -- however -- the TV listings API does not use a key/secret mechanism like the other two -- it only uses keys (there is no secret listed, only a key).

I tried to supply the key in the app.config file as well -- under configuration/appSettings named "Rovi_APIKey" with my key set. It doesn't work, it throws the same exception at the same spot.

I really don't know what else to do, without further information, this library is unusable.

Error triggering showMgr.GetEpisodeInfo(strShow, intSeason, intEpisode)

When I call the above using the following code, I get the (following) error message
Method not found: 'System.String ServiceStack.Text.WebRequestExtensions.GetJsonFromUrl(System.String, System.Action1<System.Net.HttpWebRequest>, System.Action1<System.Net.HttpWebResponse>)'.'

Triggered using
ShowInformationManager showMgr = new ShowInformationManager();
TVEpisodeInfo episode = showMgr.GetEpisodeInfo(strShow, intSeason, intEpisode);

where strShow="Power" (as an example), intSeason=5, intEpisode=6

I get the same error following your example (Once upon a time)

Please advise what I'm missing?
