Can't list games (because their info can't be got)

[posti85]

• Luna Version: 0.6.3-alpha
• nVidia GeForce Experience Version: 3.3.0.95
• Moonlight Embedded Version: 2.2.2
• OSMC Version: 2017.02-2 (first Krypton release)

Expected Behaviour: After I susscefully pair my PC, I try to open the game list (just enter the addon).

Actual Behaviour: Error opening the addon: It seems is because luna can't get the game info, and the it fails loading the list. Here is the log:

With the last dev release, I have the same problem.

I've done some research. The query:

http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=left4dead&plot=short&r=json&type=game

doesn't work right now. So the game info could not be got. I think you should skip this step if the service doesn't work, because else, the plugin could not be used util the game data is got.

Thank you!

Heads up, they recently released an update fixing some issues so manually search for updates :)

Also, sorry for not providing anything valuble to fixing the issue.

Skipping API providers if they're not accessible for some reason is a valid request.

For now simply disable the OMDB Scraper in the settings as a workaround.

Edit: To me it looks like OMDB has filtered out all games. If someone can confirm this, the scraper will most likely be removed entirely, leaving only The Games DB and IGDB as an option.

Did you mean setting default to false in this line?

<setting label="30025" enable="eq(-1,false)" type="bool" id="enable_omdb" default="false"/>

it didn't work for me.

There's a settings item in Luna's main menu which opens ... well ... the add-on settings. Literally no need to change a single file by hand ...

[wackerl91]

From the exceptions gathered by Eos: OMDB now returns HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable instead of the aforementioned 403 - the entire scraper will be removed with the next update. To compensate this, I'm looking into enhancing Eos to provide proxied access to IGDB.

For now - as mentioned above - if you can't get a game list due to this circumstances just disable the OMDB scraper in Luna's settings.

That fixed my issues. Thanks.
