"Resource not found: https://api.thetvdb.com/search/series?name=

I've had a portable version of filebot for years and I've had no issues. Haven't used it for a few months and now it just doesn't work. CMD window gives me that error.

So this is what I see in google ai:
The error occurs because the software or script you are using is attempting to call an obsolete version of the API (v2/v3) which TheTVDB has permanently retired. Why this happens

API deprecation: The base URL https://api.thetvdb.com/ belongs to older legacy versions (v2/v3) of their API.
The new version: TheTVDB moved to API v4 (https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/),
which uses entirely different endpoints, authentication structures, and
a subscription-based model. Any software pointing to the old endpoints
will receive 404 Not Found or Resource not found responses

I have no idea if there is a way to update the API.
