[6.0.3] Trakt for MediaPortal [2020-01-01] (3 Viewers)

[Gcarr]

Not sure if this is the place to report but, I wanted to let you know what happened yesterday.
I had a little problem, my Trakt authorization had expired on one of my clients. I finally got around to fixing that but, before doing that, I updated extensions, Online Videos to 2.9.0.0 and Trakt to 6.0.7.437
After updating, I could not authorize Trakt because the update process would crash. I was getting this error:

[2026-05-05 05:59:36,083] [Error ] [DashShows] [ERROR] - MediaPortal: Unhandled exception occurred
[2026-05-05 05:59:36,083] [Log ] [DashShows] [ERROR] - Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert' from assembly 'OnlineVideos, Version=2.9.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

I downgraded OV to 2.8.01 and Trakt to 6.0.7.435 and everything worked again. I don't know which was the culprit and I'm afraid to update and go through that process again. Attaching error log.

@Gcarr looks like Newtonsoft.Json.dll dependency may be missing from your installation (typically from C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal).

@ajs does this come with MediaPortal installation by any chance? If not, then will needed to be included by Trakt as the latest release does use it in logging.

The version I am currently using on my personal machine is 13.0.3.27908

Of course, MediaPortal installs Newtonsoft.Json.dll and uses it in all plugins and grabbers.

<package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="13.0.3" targetFramework="net40" requireReinstallation="true" />

Ok, I can reproduce after installing either 2.9.0.0 or 2.9.1.0 OnlineVideos.

So as it stands, you can use the latest Trakt, but use 2.8.0.1 of OnlineVideos until the problem is identified.

@doskabouter any ideas?

 

[doskabouter]

just an update:
trakt is build against an older version of onlinevideos (with the embedded newtonsoft.json) so my guess is trakt really wants it from onlinevideos instead of using the dll already present in mediaportal.
When adding the new onlinevideos dll's to the external folder, it won't compile anymore due to onlinevideos being at .net48
Working on fixing it now

Edit: just pushed an update to the master branch

Release done and at least on my end it works now!

Thanks, Master! Everything's working.
