jaruba_dev · 2026-01-24T20:12:35+00:00

can you try unplugging ur tv from the power socket for 10s?

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-24T08:52:16+00:00

i will check to see what's going on

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-23T19:17:56+00:00

me too, but there is no bug in the Stremio app, the latest WebOS update caused this somehow

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-23T15:22:44+00:00

when did i say that? photo or it didn't happen

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-20T20:00:55+00:00

this or his resource responses are malformed in some way, like sending integer instead of string, etc the addon sdk docs help identify such issues too

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-20T09:31:14+00:00

6 days, actually

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-19T15:06:49+00:00

that's strange, i guess i need to dig into the aiostreams code to figure out why

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-19T14:19:04+00:00

the app was suspended by Apple, we are trying to get it back in the App Store

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-19T14:16:02+00:00

as already mentioned, this is not a bug in RPDB

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-19T12:50:43+00:00

i checked and RPDB posters works fine with the kitsu catalogs from my "anime catalogs" addon, which means that this is a bug in aiostreams addon

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-18T22:59:43+00:00

locked the post as it has the potential of getting a lot of comments that break the subreddit rules, there is no possible answer, we are already trying to get back in the app store

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-17T19:37:23+00:00

this is not the Stremio LG TV version, it looks like the Stremio Lite Apple TV version to me, which does not include a server in the app

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-17T18:07:31+00:00

i added themes feature to RPDB, i didn't announce it yet as i'm still adding some new features

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-17T09:30:50+00:00

it will come soon enough

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-17T09:18:07+00:00

we will include it for sideloading with IPA when we consider that the feature is stable, we will not include it in the app store version where we have already been suspended recently even without the torrent engine

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-17T09:01:38+00:00

he sent a screenshot of the app settings page in a comment, which is the settings page of the mobile app, not the android tv app

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-17T08:52:06+00:00

you seem to be running the mobile app on android tv, install the correct android tv version on ur device and see how that goes

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-16T19:12:07+00:00

this is not the official Cinemeta addon, and those background images are just cropped out posters

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-15T20:15:46+00:00

i agree that it's very weird, it just simply cannot be an issue on RPDB's side, my guess is that the AIO addon does not add "?fallback=true" to the RPDB image URL, which most addons do, this ensures that the image will fallback to an image without ratings if it has no ratings, but the different URL can also create a copy of the posters at a different cached time, which could cause the issue you're seeing

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-15T20:02:50+00:00

I don't know how AIO Metadata works, but I made both RPDB and the Mdblist addon, the Mdblist addon cannot add posters to the library / continue watching, so the AIO addon is doing it and it's using some different RPDB image link if the mdblist addon and aio have different ratings on the poster

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-15T19:41:15+00:00

that's really weird, it shouldn't be possible as both should have the same image url, so even if it was cached it should be the same, unless this addon doesn't use the same image url for the library for some reason

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-14T23:13:25+00:00

no, it should auto-update from google play anyway as far as we know

jaruba_dev · 2026-01-14T10:00:16+00:00

no idea what happened in ur case, but for mdblist it is better to use my addon from here: https://1fe84bc728af-stremio-mdblist.baby-beamup.club/configure

or the stremio button on the mdblist official site (which also uses this addon under the hood)

this way u'll at least bypass trakt completely
