does not search for anything and does not reproduce

[saperex]

a couple of days ago, for no apparent reason, the plugin stopped working, when trying to play from favorites, nothing happens, and when trying to search in movies or TV shows, it finds nothing kodi.log

the only thing that caught my eye in log is : 2022-04-10 16:59:52.798 T:2676 WARNING <general>: [plugin.video.elementum] ERRO tmdb ▶ func1 Bad status getting search movie with map[api_key:[8cf43ad9c085135b9479ad5cf6bbcbda] page:[1] query:[chernobyl]] on https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie: 403 and it is because of 2022-04-10 16:59:31.595 T:2676 WARNING <general>: [plugin.video.elementum] WARN tmdb ▶ CheckAPIKey TMDB API key failed: ae4bd1b6fce2a5648671bfc171d15ba4 2022-04-10 16:59:31.596 T:2676 WARNING <general>: [plugin.video.elementum] ERRO tmdb ▶ CheckAPIKey No valid TMDB API key found

Maybe it is connected to https://github.com/elgatito/elementum/pull/82

So, maybe TMDB is actually started to ban requests from some countries. Or old built-in API key was banned completely b/c of requests from some countries (although in this case i think there would be many issue reports, so it is unlikely).

4 options here to see what is really going on:

1. use VPN to other country - if it will work - then it was ban by country

2. wait for fix above to be merged and new version released (no idea when it can happen), and then use Proxy to other country - if it will work - then it was ban by country

3. looks like api key is ok, thus no need: ~create your own TMDB API key and set it in "Advanced" tab -> "TheMovieDB" -> "API key" - if it will work - then it was ban of api key~ https://github.com/elgatito/plugin.video.elementum/blob/a3e1bed8489344518de32421ba373c6956bfa8db/resources/settings.xml#L393 https://github.com/elgatito/plugin.video.elementum/blob/a3e1bed8489344518de32421ba373c6956bfa8db/resources/language/messages.pot#L164

4. if i remember correctly there is an option to use trakt for metadata (like localized movie name, year, etc) instead of TMDB (since it is a fallback option it might have some issues or less functionality, but should be enough for simple use cases): option name is "Use Trakt information in Trakt lists" https://github.com/elgatito/plugin.video.elementum/blob/a3e1bed8489344518de32421ba373c6956bfa8db/resources/language/messages.pot#L957 https://github.com/elgatito/plugin.video.elementum/blob/a3e1bed8489344518de32421ba373c6956bfa8db/resources/settings.xml#L307 in "Trakt" tab

+1 for this.

looks like api key is ok, so options are 1,2,4. 1 - will definitely fix issue. 2 - if you can wait (no idea how much time), or if you want to build new version by yourself 4 - probably will fix issue (but there might be some side effects)
