By rintje:

My guess is that when first time the bierdopje plugin is called from a context where a tvdbid is available (lets say the sickbeard context), it is very likely that the tvdbid will also be available in the future in that same context.

Thus:
* either the tvdbid is never available for that show, resulting in the regular procedure using showid and cache),
* or the tvdbid is always available, allowing for a direct shortcut. Caching is irrelevant.
