Hi Luís,

You are not missing anything, the token should be persisted in v4 calls. I'll see if I can find some time to work on this in the next few days. Worst case I should be able to get to it next week.

Thanks.

Hello Travis,

Also, when using redirect_to with V4 as:

https://www.themoviedb.org/auth/access?request_token=%requestToken%&redirect_to=%APP%

It seems TMDB will always redirect to /auth/access/approve. Am I sending the parameters wrong?

Thank you for the great support.

In v4, the redirection value should be sent as part of the POST body, see here. It's the redirect_to value in the POST request body.

Hello Travis,

Thanks, that's working now. Sorry to keep bothering you, but when I convert an access token (v4) to session ID (v3), I can't make calls to, for example, /account. I get the status message "Authentication failed: You do not have permissions to access the service.". I can, however, delete the v3 session id (the one I converted from v4, but failed to get /account).

Thanks in advance, Luís

Bringing up my post because you might've missed my last issue. When I convert a V4 access token to a V3 session id, I can't make requests with the returned session id, except the deletion of the session Id itself. Am I missing something?

{
  "status_code": 3,
  "status_message": "Authentication failed: You do not have permissions to access the service."
}

Thanks again, and sorry for bothering you!

Heh, no, you're not bothering me. I'll see if I can find some time at a computer tomorrow, I haven't had time at to check any of this out yet.

Ok, I found the issue and will try to get it deployed this week. I happen to be traveling this week so my availability is less than normal. Thanks for the report and patience.

Hello, any news on this matter?

Not yet, I don't currently have a deployable version of the app. I've been doing some crazy low level work to the app. As soon as things are ready to go, and can be pushed up to production I'll get this done.

Is there an estimated time for that deploy? We're working on a project and we are getting asked how long we will be delaying certain features. Thank you for your work.

Hard for me to say. Normally I'd say end of week for sure but I'm heading away for 4 days again starting Thursday so my schedule is very tight. I'll let you know as soon as I have it pushed.

Can you go ahead and try converting a new session and let me know if it’s working for you now?

Convertion seems to be working now! Thank you. Seems like you forgot to push the original problem though (token not persisting when using V4 login).

Also, have a couple of questions regarding lists. Lists in v4 seem like they don't have a poster, and don't have a backdrop by default. I've noticed that in your website it is possible to update the backdrop, but haven't seen any API call to do so, are we missing anything here? Also, in the V4's documentation, Get Lists doesn't show any successful response, even though it works fine (I think this is Spotlight's fault though, think I've seen you mention that before in other discussions).

Thank you again.

Re: session, great.

Re: token not persisting, correct, I have not pushed that yet. I won't be back at work until Thursday the 27th.

You are correct, there is no such thing as list posters in v4 anymore, there is only the backdrop. Have you tried setting a backdrop_path field on your list? I'm fairly certain it will work, it's just not documented. The expected value would just be the path of a backdrop, ie. /5A2bMlLfJrAfX9bqAibOL2gCruF.jpg.

Re: successful response, what exactly do you mean? What are you expecting that isn't present?

Thanks, that's great.

Regarding the successful response, if you go to https://developers.themoviedb.org/4/account/get-account-lists it doesn't show the 200 response - just a minor detail, nothing to worry about.

Thank you for all your work, happy holidays.
