Hi,
I'm a paying subscriber and I found two data issues that are affecting my users on go-vf.com.
Issue 1: False positive — The Adventures of Tintin (animated series, 1991)
TMDB ID: tv/1570 — Netflix ID: 70211391
GET /shows/tv/1570 (global, no country param) returns Netflix as available in Norway (NO) and Finland (FI) — subscription, HD, with French audio and subtitles.
But GET /shows/tv/1570?country=no and ?country=fi both return null for streamingOptions.
I checked directly on Netflix — the title is not in their catalog for either country and hasn't been for a long time. The global endpoint is returning data that doesn't exist.
Issue 2: False negative — Road Trip (2000)
TMDB ID: movie/9285 — Netflix ID: 60000875
Road Trip is currently available on Netflix Finland — I'm literally watching it right now. It's even scheduled to leave the catalog in about a week.
But GET /shows/movie/9285 does not return any Netflix entry for Finland (FI). Netflix shows up for Italy, Peru, Brazil but Finland is completely missing.
Summary
Two opposite problems: a title that doesn't exist on Netflix showing up, and a title that does exist on Netflix not showing up. Both for the same country (Finland). This makes me wonder how many other titles are affected.
Could you investigate? These data quality issues are a real problem for my app.
Thanks
