[6.0.3] Trakt for MediaPortal [2020-01-01] (2 Viewers)

Me either, didn't realise how much I relied on Trakt until it broke!

I have been following the comments on their website and twitter feed, they are getting a huge bashing at the moment, and people reporting that neither API's v1 or v2 are working. I am sure they will get it sorted soon though...

Seems surprising that they cut v1 API support in the upgrade. You would think they would leave it running for a little while to at least give people a chance to migrate their products.

I'm (in)famously against all kinds of change, and do (also) not like the new look of trakt one bit. If it ain't broke... etc.
But I suppose I can get used to it, if I must.

And yeah, it seems a horrible, if not downright stupid, decision to disable v1 API support so suddenly.
Giving developers access to the new API a couple of months in advance might have been wise too. It doesn't really look like they did that either.

I realize that completely redesigning a site almost always involves some unexpected bugs and such, but it also seems like there are a lot of features that aren't even implemented/migrated/re-enabled yet.
A huge bashing seems pretty well-deserved imho.

Looking forward to a new version of the trakt plugin though. Keep up the good work

The Sonarr / Nzbdrone devs are upset about this as well and switched to TVDB as a result:

http://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/2qo1fu/psa_if_you_are_having_issues_with_adding_series/

Main issue is that they kept the changes secret and asked users to do that as well on their Google+ community page, so some developers were surprised especially when they also pulled V1 support at the same time.
Already some large bugs popping up like incorrect matching based on TVDB IDs and returning wrong show names due to internal changes by Trakt (different data source).
So will have to wait and see how Trakt handles all the flood of complaints and bugs, adding features and fixing known bugs after launch seems like a weird thing to do especially the obvious ones which if they asked the community and app developers to test (public beta anyone?) would have been spotted right away.

Some changes are more then welcome however so it's not all bad, saw the added features in API V2 and how the plugin can utilize them in the other topic so that looks great especially resume support.
Site design in some areas is better but everything is so damn large that very little information can be displayed, the site itself is speedy so that's an improvement as well but wondering if that remains when the API V2 is used by all the apps out there and people start actively visiting the site again (once they get used to it).

New release available v5.0.1:

You should now be able to login! The website and API are not yet 100% so expect a few issues. The plugin also needed a massive overhaul to support the trakt v2 API so there might be a few regressions in some places. I have tried to make it obvious in the GUI if something is not implemented e.g. "Sorry, this feature is not available". This is because it's not yet done in v2 API, when done I will add feature back.

Change Log

• Added support for trakt API v2. Everything that the plugin supports that the API allows has been done, everything else is marked as not ready in the GUI such as:
  • Network Activity on the Dashboard.
  • Filtering on Recommended Movies and Shows.
  • Filtering in Related Movies and Shows.
  • Most Recents in your Networks UserProfile.
  • User creation (login is still available).
  • Search for Users.
  • Search by Movie, Show, Episode and Person only returns limited fields. Unlikely to return, may need to re-think skin design to remove fields and only have thumbnails. Will provide details view for these objects when 'clicked' soon to fill the gap.
• Added MediaInfo fields for collection sync. Website is not yet updated to display these.
  
• Added support for Skin Themes, can now include seperate skin files, images, settings etc per theme.
• Added Titan skin file to installation package. Added seperate skin settings for Extended Two theme as it has a trending dashboard on BasicHome.
• Many improvements and bug fixes on Titan skin files.
• Renamed 'Shouts' to 'Comments'.
• Renamed 'Watch List' to 'Watchlist', you may need to clean up trakt categories in external plugins using old name.
• Removed MyAnime and 4TR plugin handlers, skinners should remove corresponding buttons in Settings/Plugins.
• Rate dialog is only a 10-Heart scale now as per website.
• All cached images will be removed from disk after upgrade. File-names are no longer the same so can't be re-used.
• Temporarily disabled config button to delete your library online (will come back after I re-design).
• Updated translations from Transifex.

As the v2 API evolves so will the plugin, priority will be to re-instate features which are in plugin but not yet in the API as well any bugs introduced into the plugin from regression.

There has been a few new skin properties added but I have not yet had time to update the skin designers guide, you can check out the Titan skin files included in this package if something is not quite working right in your skin or just pm me. I will be on holidays for a week from tomorrow.

If my watched history is more up-to date in MePo because of Trakt being down etc. will it sync Trakt back up posthumously on it's own with everything it is missing?

It will either successfully sync anything missing or trakt will report that the item(s) could not be found because trakt does not yet have the data for the user data to map too. If its unsuccessful, it will keep trying every sync interval until it is.

I just got a crash on my production system which upgraded from 4.0.3...im hoping no one else gets it but I might have to make another quick release that fixes it.

EDIT: thankfully tracked it down to a file not being removed when the upgrade occurred. The old persisted file was incompatible. I might need to release a fix for this as it's a doozy.

I just got a crash on my production system which upgraded from 4.0.3...

Same here, when using the Extensions plugin to update, but v5.0.2 fixed it
DEV update went through MPEI installer, and that went without a hiccup.

Happy New Year

I released a HotFix v5.0.2. Users should upgrade to this as there was a bug in the previous upgrade not removing a file which was not compatible with the new version. This could lead to a crash.
