- Settings are now including the option for add your own API Keys
Artwork Downloader (14.4.0.0)
Why does it necessary to use my own API key? Is it a problem with a huge of bandwidth with the sites? For now I only use a key for Fanart.tv and it works fine with TMDB script too. However I need to deactivate to search fanart and poster for movies , otherwise, I get an error.
This was actually the original problem, the default keys were in the code and they were inactive for some reason.
If it wasn't like that I have been already put there default keys for everyone.
And you are wrong, for Movies the search is running on both sites: Fanart.tv and TMDB.
Now you get results only from Fanart.tv, from TMDB you get nothing.
You must type TMDB key for TMDB, and Fanart.tv key (project only) for Fanart.tv. It's different keys.
It's more recommended to put your own key so it will be available for long time.
No one on the kodi team created a new api key and updated this addon yet. That's why as a workaround, you can get your own key from fanart.tv and put it in.
