\addons\script.artwork.downloader\lib\provider\fanarttv.py and \addons\script.artwork.downloader\lib\provider\tmdb.py

Note: For the fanart.tv API key I had to apply for the Project API Keys, the Personal API Keys option did not download all the artwork.

I used Notepad++ to edit the files and it can be downloaded HERE - Once you have that installed you can browse over to edit the (2) files.

On Windows:

Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/addons/script.artwork.downloader/lib/provider/fanarttv.py
Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Kodi/addons/script.artwork.downloader/lib/provider/tmdb.py

On Linux:

\\your.ip.address\kodi\addons\script.artwork.downloader\lib\provider\fanarttv.py
\\your.ip.address\kodi\addons\script.artwork.downloader\lib\provider\tmdb.py

Save and reboot.

That's it!

For themoviedb.org do we have to apply for developer or professional API key?

@iMak - I applied for the Developer Key.

Maybe the addon dev could add an option allowing to enter personal keys

Would be simpler for users

Thank you for the solution. Is this a temporarily fix or it's the only fix?

I actually know nothing about all this. I just assumed it was an API thing and applied for my own keys. Once I applied them, it worked. I would also think this would be a permanent fix because you now have your own API keys. Then again, I could be wrong. Big Grin

I agree 100%, but I am sure he must be very busy with other Kodi matters. I am sure he will eventually get to it.

Cheers!

Would also like to know. Edit what to what.

The 2 files I am pointing to in my post tells you what you do. You just have to change the API key in each of those files. You actually can't miss it once you see inside the files.

I'm just guessing but I think it's related to the recent API changes that caused our scrapes to also stop working.

If that was the case, it would not work after entering personal API keys

Or maybe I misunderstand something

Thanks. But if the addon got updated by the developer, won't this personal API be changed?

After changing the API's, Poster and Fanart are back to the listing of Artwork Downloader.

Thank you @shedrock

It really shouldn't matter because you're now using your own API instead of everyone using the same, which I would imagine is better in terms of bogging the sites down. I am not 100% sure TBH.

Huge thanks once again shedrock for taking the time to explain the whole process. Just tried it now and hey presto everything is back working again as it should. Brill job sir.

Working again here also, great work and thank you Shedrock!

Sorry to be a total noob but once I have the API for tmdb do I just add it to the tmdb.py file? I did this but just get an error in the addon. Or do I have to "create application" on the site too?

If you are getting an error, it probably means you're entering it incorrectly. Make sure to use the Notepad++ editor. Changing the API key is all that is required, and yes, just the tmdb.py file is necessary to change.

Example:

Code:
API_KEY = 'enter-your-api-key-here'
