+1 :)

[johnworkgit]

+1 empty: popular movies, popular tv shows and most voted movies. http://localhost:65251/movies/popular (section popular in pulsar movies) returns: {"content_type":"movies","items":[]} whereas http://localhost:65251/movies/popular/35 (section comedy) returns a populated items list.

[MrDeadLock]

According to Wireshark Pulsar uses api.themoviedb.org for it's queries and it seems like TheMovieDB changed their api :( For a list of Most Popular Movies, Pulsar calls

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=apikey&language=en&page=1&primary_release_date.lte=2015-12-31&sort_by=popularity.desc&with_genres=

This query returns an empty list.

When removing "&with_genres=" from the query, the result is as expected.

I asked the api-people from tmdb if they can solve this problem, fingers crossed

[a1ex4]

@MrDeadLock Awesome find, did the same!

[MrDeadLock]

I got a reply from TMDB:

All we need is just a little patience :)

Did you hear anything from TMDB already @mrdeadlock?

[MrDeadLock]

Nope :(

Here's the TMDB thread: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/568504de92514132db018f2e?page=1

[MrDeadLock]

It seems like it's working again :)

Hey guys,

Did you parse the most popular list? It indeed returns movies now, but i am not sure the list is very accurate when i see what it returns.

Moreover, when i go to the url http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=apikey&language=en&page=1&primary_release_date.lte=2015-12-31&sort_by=popularity.desc&with_genres=

il now returns: {"status_code":7,"status_message":"Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key."}

[morcegon]

The similar problem occurs on season list of TV Shows. I can't show the seasons neither the episodes.

[morcegon]

@Painguleouf this API require a key to search. The value of parameter 'api_key' needs to be a valid one. You can generate on the TMDB site.

[endlessterror]

@morcegon this means that pulsar should provide a configuration option perhaps for the user to enter his/her api_key?

With all due respect, is the pulsar author actively supporting this addon? Just asking since it's been about half a year since the last commit (AFAIK).

[gotoalberto-zz]

It seems Quasar has solved this problem. Quasar is a fork of Pulsar https://github.com/scakemyer/plugin.video.quasar

[johnworkgit]

@gotoalberto third issue has been resolved in pulsar already

[m4xc4v413r4]

why are people still using pulsar when it's basically abandoned and the fork quasar is being updated every single day?
