I've notice AH is very sluggish on my Nvidia tv & iMac. are you experiencing this issue with your setup? AH v0.5.55 the movie DB helper v4.1.4

Thanks

I think maybe it was because Trakt has been down over the last 24hrs. There was some recent threading code added to TMDbHelper which improved performance except when Trakt was down. Plugin attempts a few retries and then gives up if a service is down. HOWEVER, because all the items are now threaded to load simultaneously side-by-side rather than sequentially, those few retries now get multiplied many times over. I added some code in most recent version (v4.1.5) of TMDbHelper which should alleviate that scenario a bit (although difficult to say how much it helped since Trakt appears to now be back up).

Happy New Year. Let's hope 2021 will be a turning point for getting back to some sort of normality.

Thanks for the reply. unfortunately, v4.1.5 didn't make any improvements. personally I don't use Trakt. can AH function without it. if it can would it be possible to add a disable option?

As mentioned before I don't use Trakt but I have noticed that if I select "Auto-update library from Trakt(list)s" TV shows & movies. It resets after reopening. is this normal?

@Blurayx Add-ons that use Trakt for metadata (like TMDbHelper, for instance) are going to be affected by server issues at Trakt, regardless of whether you use it or not.

The skin isn't the one doing stuff with Trakt; it's add-ons that are.

As drinfernoo said above - TMDbHelper relies on Trakt for metadata regardless of whether you have an account or not. For instance, the tvshows calendar metadata comes from Trakt, so if you are using Next Aired features then you are using Trakt metadata. Trakt is the only reliable place to get this data for free (the old Next Aired script used TVdb but that will become a paid service in the next few months).

As mentioned before I don't use Trakt but I have noticed that if I select "Auto-update library from Trakt(list)s" TV shows & movies. It resets after reopening. is this normal?

Normal. It's a Kodi "bug" where the setting isn't actually written out to the file until you close out the entire addon settings dialog - so if you reopen that part before closing the entire dialog then it will revert back to the last "saved" setting on disk.
