Show episode list updated/cache bug

I think I found a bug where the update values don't update themselves.

4 days ago JuanArango updated the thetvdb-id of 5 series.

I wondered why my application wasn't updating my local cache and found out the reason. This are the updated values:

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/365: 1423868493 (Friday, 13-Feb-15 23:01:33 UTC)

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1371: 1443332641 (Sunday, 27-Sep-15 05:44:01 UTC)

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1734: 1443199911 (Friday, 25-Sep-15 16:51:51 UTC)

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1851: 1443534861 (Tuesday, 29-Sep-15 13:54:21 UTC)

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/2697: 1440910435 (Sunday, 30-Aug-15 04:53:55 UTC)

The changed updated values of 3 series are from different updates. I'm pretty sure the tvdbid-change wasn't updating the updated-values (see series 1 and 5).

4 hours ago JuanArango updated a huge list of tvrage-ids (thanks again). Neither the tvrage-id values nor the updated values have changed yet. Would be nice if you could look into it :)

Correct, adding a tvrage/thetvdb ID doesn't influence the updated property. It's a system separate from the rest of the regular data.

What's your usecase that requires it?

Ah ok. I just noticed it and it's even a very rare scenario (adding/editing ids later). Thought you weren't aware of it.

I'm using the tvrage and thetvdb ids in my application for matching my old tvrage series and wrote a list of missing ones, which got edited in. Now I'm waiting for the api to show the tvrage-ids (updated values aren't that important in this rare scenario). I just thought it was a bug you should know of^^

How long is the cache for these changes? Longer than 1h? 24? Last list was ASAP. But maybe just a coincidence.
