TMDB version issue

AGLyons · December 25, 2017 at 7:13 PM

I have been pulling my h.a.i.r out for the last few hours trying to figure out what is going on and I think I've discovered something suspect.

When adding file sources and choosing the information provider (TMDB), it says it's version 4.0.1. I installed Kodi on my Android and it is showing version 5.0.3. My Nvidia Libreelec will not pull metadata where my Android will. The Nvidia box returns "Unable to Connect To Remote Server".

Updating the TMDB addon shows there are no updates available from 4.0.1.

I've reinstalled LE v8.2.1 and the new v8.2.2. Both show exactly the same thing.

So I discovered you can DL the updated TMDB addon from kodi.tv. It won't install though as there's a dependency issue that needs to be resolved.

^ this is from an 8.2.2 install which shows the add-on was updated on 15 December. Kodi redirects requests to their add-on repo to mirror servers so it's possible the mirror that you are being sent to has bad/outdated information, but the mirrroring software normally stops that. I suggest you download the zip file direct and "install from zip" manually.

ok, weird. It looks like the update did actually install. My metadata is now coming in as expected!!!!
