Empty Genre

[faxe1008]

I noticed that the GetGenres() method of the MovieInfo class always returns null. Did they change anything in their JSON encoding?

Does this happen to all movies? or just some?

As far as I can tell, yes

Can you give me a sample of your code and I will try and look at it today. Thanks

private static final String apiKey = "<KEY>";
 TmdbSearch apiSearch = new TmdbSearch(apiKey, new HttpTools(httpClient));
 result = apiSearch.searchMovie("batman", nextPage, "de", true, null, null, null);

List<Genre> lg = result[0].getGenres();
if(lg!=null && lg.size()>0)
       System.out.println(lg.get(0).getName());

Ok, the genres are now listed as IDs rather than specific strings. Your application will need to pre-load and cache a map of the genre IDs and Names, e.g.

    private Map<Integer, String> mapGenres(String language) throws MovieDbException {
        TmdbGenres tmdbGenres = new TmdbGenres(getApiKey(), getHttpTools());
        List<Genre> genreList = tmdbGenres.getGenreMovieList(language).getResults();
        Map<Integer, String> genreMap = new HashMap<>();

        for(Genre g:genreList) {
            genreMap.put(g.getId(), g.getName());
        }

        return genreMap;
    }

Then you can do something like:

    ResultList<MovieInfo> movieList = apiSearch.searchMovie("Blade Runner", 0, "", null, 0, 0, SearchType.PHRASE);
    MovieInfo result = movieList.getResults().get(0);

    Map<Integer, String> genreMap = mapGenres("de");

    for (int g : result.getGenreIds()) {
        LOG.info("{} = {}", g, genreMap.get(g));
    }
