Does anyone know if there has been any Trakt API changes in the last 30 hours or so? I use Trakt connected to an addon called TMDB Helper within Kodi. In the last day and a half, it has been unable to connect to my custom trakt lists (which it has been doing for years).
This is happening on all devices so it’s not a localized bug.
Not in that timeframe but there were some that broke addons. In any case it’s the developer that needs to fix it. Check the subreddit where you can check with devs and people who know more on that side.
Thanks for the reply. The version of TMDB Helper I was using, was, unfortunately, a highly customized one where I’d made a lot of changes to the code to customize the UI. I was hoping not to have to start from scratch and maybe only have to make some API updates if something had changed.
So I thought I’d check here first. I appreciate you letting me know there haven’t been any super recent changes.
Ah, ok. It’s your own thing. Check the trakt api github. Will check for link (not handy).
Edit: this issue has links to API docs. Not sure if latest but place to start.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Update 07/20/2026:
For anyone wondering, after digging into the logs, It seems like Trakt refactored their backend database schema or API serialization layer. Fields that historically shipped downstream as string values, specifically list item indices (rank) and global metadata keys (tmdb_id, imdb_id) were rewritten to emit as raw integers.
I had to modify 21 lines of code to create a type-casting sanitization filter that automatically forces all numerical metadata from the Trakt API into strict string formats before passing it to Kodi’s interface, preventing the fatal TypeErrors that were crashing my custom lists.
