Hi,
I have just set up 3 amazon firesticks and I have installed Kodi on them to allow me to watch films and TV stored locally on my server.
This has involved each stick requesting film data for over 2000 films several times from tmdb.
Whilst setting up the last one i am now gettting an error saying that it can't connect to the server.
I suspect the large amount of data requests may have put me on a blacklist?
Will this reset in a day or 2?
Thanks in advance,
Gavin.

Data is missing to get an answer for you.
Here is a list of errors. Can you tell which of these errors came to you?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I checked but couldn't find any errors in the log file for Kodi. I tried changing the movie scraper back to tmdb to see what error came back and it's all working again today. I'm going to have to assume that whatever was wrong has now reset itself as I no longer have a problem.
Thanks anyway.
Gavin.

Well, if all three were collecting data at the same time you probably went over the 40 every 10 seconds. Then you wouldn't be able to get more till the 10 seconds reset.
