The API's v4 surface keys every response by tvdb_id and treats TVDB as the media's identity. Ask with tvdb_id first (tmdb_id and imdb_id still resolve), and read the identity from the response instead of assuming tmdb_id. Episodes send their own TVDB episode id when Kodi has one, which pins the exact episode record instead of trusting the numbering, plus the series' display order when it is one the API can convert. A 404 now falls through to the next identity rather than giving up: a lookup addressed only by tmdb_id is read as TMDB numbering, so an episode stored under another order is answered 'not found' while the same episode resolves by TVDB id (issue #19 - 'rarely works' on streams whose numbering follows the release). A 429 or an unreachable host still stops the chain, since another id would not be answered either. Key validation moves to /v4/user/stats. It also used to probe a media lookup, which cannot tell an invalid key from a media with no data, so an invalid key was reported as valid. v2 and v3 no longer serve /user/stats at all. 429 handling now reads the limit's own headers: Retry-After first, the daily budget's reset trusted up to 24h and a burst reset clamped to 5 minutes, instead of trusting whichever header came first. Adds tests/ with unit coverage of the request shape, the fallback order, the 429 header semantics and the key probe.

_retry_after_secondsin the submit 429 handler.This PR adds bounded 429 handling for lookups. The
submit_segment429 path still uses the old logic:
- It reads
X-UsageLimit-Resetfirst. It does not compare that value with the burst window.- It applies no ceiling and no floor. A large
X-RateLimit-Resetvalue, or one stated as an epoch time, can block all requests for a very long time.Retry-After: 0or a negative header value sets a deadline in the past or at the current time.Lookups and submissions share
_rate_limit_until. One bad submit response therefore also stops segment lookups.♻️ Proposed fix
if e.code == 429: - retry = 300 - for header in ('X-UsageLimit-Reset', 'X-RateLimit-Reset', 'Retry-After'): - val = e.headers.get(header) - if val: - try: - retry = int(val) - except ValueError: - pass - break + retry = _retry_after_seconds(e, err_body if 'err_body' in locals() else '') with _rate_limit_lock: _rate_limit_until = time.time() + retryThis fix also requires
err_bodyto be initialized to''before the innertryblock that reads the error body.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

The submission handler parsed the rate-limit headers inline: it took whichever of X-UsageLimit-Reset / X-RateLimit-Reset / Retry-After came first, with no ceiling, no floor and no check of what the value meant. An epoch-stated or oversized reset parked the client for an arbitrarily long time, and since the lookup path shares that deadline, one bad submit response also silenced segment lookups. Route it through _retry_after_seconds, the parser the lookup path already uses, and initialize the error body so the helper always gets one. Adds tests for the submit 429: the daily budget's reset is trusted to its own ceiling, and a burst reset is clamped and can never land in the past.

On the 429 finding — fixed in Valid, and worse than the comment describes: On "TVDB lookups never send a display order" — deliberate, not a gap. Kodi has no per-item display-order value to forward: the scraper stores episodes in the order the library was scraped in, so the numbers Kodi exposes are already that order and there is no field naming it. What the add-on sends instead is authoritative for exactly the case an order would be for — the episode's own On Docstring Coverage (15.38% vs 80%). Not touched: functions in this add-on are documented with inline comments in the existing style ( |
Measured against production on 2026-10-17: /v4/media answers from season/episode,
not from tvdb_episode_id, and does not validate it at all. With Futurama the
episode record 4319164 (default S07E01, 'The Bots and the Bees') was pinned
alongside season=6&episode=1 and the response carried S06E1's timestamps
('Rebirth', 29344 ms); pinning 1051911 (default S06E1) alongside
season=7&episode=1 returned S07E1's 14600 ms. A junk id is accepted with a 200,
a valid id does not rescue numbers that resolve to nothing, and a pin with no
season/episode is a 400, so it is never the addressing.
The README described the pin as making the numbering irrelevant. It does not,
and a client that trusts it can show another episode's intro, so say what the
API actually does and what it costs a library scraped in a non-default order.
The request still carries the pin, which is correct once the documented
precedence is honoured.

Correction to my own review reply — the pin does not do what I said, and I verified it against production. I claimed
Symmetric in both directions, so it is not a matter of picking which of my two ids was right: That matters beyond the doc: a client that pins an episode record and passes its own numbering — a Kodi library scraped in a non-default TVDB order, which is the case #31 was opened for — is answered with another episode's timestamps, with a 200. Silently wrong, not missing. So I have raised the precedence itself as an API-side defect rather than working around it here, because the fix belongs in the resolver and a client-side workaround would mean re-deriving the pinned episode's coordinates from a per-order episode list on every series. One more finding, which I believe is correct behaviour but worth knowing about: |

Moves the add-on to TheIntroDB API v4, makes lookups ask by TVDB identity first, and retries with the next identity when the first finds nothing. Motivated by #19 ("IntroDB seems to rarely work now").
Why (#19)
The
tmdb_idpath is the likely answer to the report. It is always read as TMDB numbering, and where the stored data does not line up with TMDB's episode list the request is answered "not found" — so the skip button never appears, while the same episode resolves fine by TVDB id.Measured today against the API for Futurama (
tmdb_id=615, TVDBtvdb_id=73871):tmdb_id=615&season=12&episode=1media not found for provided season/episodetmdb_id=615&season=13&episode=3tvdb_id=73871&season=12&episode=18500 → 37000That is the shape of the report: a stream numbered by its release (Disney+/streaming order, absolute-numbered anime, specials) carries a TMDB id, Kodi passes its own season/episode, and the API no longer has a way to match them.
season 12exists in the data, just not in TMDB's list for that id.Two things follow, one here and one for the API:
/v2/mediaand/v3/mediano longer reach data their own contract used to serve. Before the v4 rewrite,/v3/medialooked submissions up directly bytmdb_id+ season/episode; it now resolves TMDB → TVDB first, so rows keyed under a numbering TMDB does not list became unreachable —tmdb_id=615&season=12&episode=1answered200on 2026-09-24 (see #31) and answers404today. That silently affects every v3 client still in the wild (the released add-on 1.8.2 among them). A fallback in the frozen path — if resolution fails, answer from the stored rows as v3 used to — would restore it.What changed
tvdb_idfirst, thentmdb_id, thenimdb_id(the API's own priority). Preferring TVDB also means the numbering the item is asked for is the numbering the API can convert.tvdb_episode_idwhen Kodi exposes one and it differs from the series id (a scraper that repeats the series id on episodes would otherwise make the API look for a non-existent episode).mappingwhen it is one the API knows ("dvd", "absolute", …). Unsupported values are never forwarded, since that is a 400./v4/user/stats. It previously probed a media lookup, which cannot distinguish an invalid key from a media with no data, so an invalid key was reported as valid. v2/v3 no longer serve/user/stats(frozen atGET /media), so this also fixes a probe that had started 404ing.Retry-Afterfirst, the daily budget's reset trusted up to 24h (clamping it to 5 minutes turns an exhausted bucket into a probe-every-5-minutes loop), a burst reset clamped to 5 minutes — instead of trusting whichever header came first.tvdb_id/tvdb_episode_idwhen known: atmdb_idsubmission is validated against TMDB numbering, which rejects an episode TMDB does not list.Tests
