empty: popular movies, popular tv shows and most voted movies.
http://localhost:65251/movies/popular (section popular in pulsar movies) returns: {"content_type":"movies","items":[]}
whereas http://localhost:65251/movies/popular/35 (section comedy) returns a populated items list.

According to Wireshark Pulsar uses api.themoviedb.org for it's queries and it seems like TheMovieDB changed their api :(
For a list of Most Popular Movies, Pulsar calls

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=apikey&language=en&page=1&primary_release_date.lte=2015-12-31&sort_by=popularity.desc&with_genres=

This query returns an empty list.

When removing "&with_genres=" from the query, the result is as expected.

I asked the api-people from tmdb if they can solve this problem, fingers crossed

@MrDeadLock Awesome find, did the same!

I got a reply from TMDB:

I didn't get to it yesterday, but I will look at this first thing Monday morning when I get into the office.
Cheers.

All we need is just a little patience :)

thanks for updating us

Did you hear anything from TMDB already @MrDeadLock?

Nope :(

Here's the TMDB thread: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/568504de92514132db018f2e?page=1

It seems like it's working again :)

Cheers!!! Thank you!

Excelent work! Thanks!

Cheers to MrDeadlock for solving the mystery

Nice! Thanks

Good job!!

Hey guys,

Did you parse the most popular list?
It indeed returns movies now, but i am not sure the list is very accurate when i see what it returns.

Moreover, when i go to the url http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=apikey&language=en&page=1&primary_release_date.lte=2015-12-31&sort_by=popularity.desc&with_genres=

il now returns:
{"status_code":7,"status_message":"Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key."}

The similar problem occurs on season list of TV Shows. I can't show the seasons neither the episodes.

@Painguleouf this API require a key to search. The value of parameter 'api_key' needs to be a valid one. You can generate on the TMDB site.

@morcegon this means that pulsar should provide a configuration option perhaps for the user to enter his/her api_key?

With all due respect, is the pulsar author actively supporting this addon? Just asking since it's been about half a year since the last commit (AFAIK).

It seems Quasar has solved this problem. Quasar is a fork of Pulsar
https://github.com/scakemyer/plugin.video.quasar

@gotoalberto third issue has been resolved in pulsar already

why are people still using pulsar when it's basically abandoned and the fork quasar is being updated every single day?
