Server - Allow custom TMDB API Key

[anderbytes 141]

I've learned that TMDB now uses profile configuration to choose priority and fallback of metadata language being returned, when API is used.

 

So, I'd like to ask you to, just like seen in FanArt, allow us to choose our own TMDB api key to be used... that would be a little more help to foreign users like me.

 

Thanks

Interesting, do you have a link to any announcements or documentation about this? thanks.

Thanks ! They don't actually mention the api key in those blog posts though. Are you sure that's related?

[anderbytes 141]

Not 100% sure, no.

 

But it would be good to confirm, I agree. I can ask Travis about this tomorrow

[anderbytes 141]

I've confirmed that No :-(

The current API doesn't support this yet. Damn it

 

Maybe in v4 of the API. Who knows...

 

Hope you got something interesting on those links above

Thanks for the info.

I could be speaking completely out of term here. But I've been playing around with the tvdb v2 API recently and believe they do something similar. Except I don't believe they require a custom API key, just to generate a unique user id
