Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is:

version 0.2.40-beta10
Kodi 21.1 on linux (arm64)

Since some weeks, impossible to get for example a movie. If I chose "Films", then the type of movie (e.g. "Comédie"), the resulting list is not what expected, this is as this the 200 first recents all items of RTBF Auvio, mostly the last recorded Radio and TV items.
The movies are sometimes mixed into this list

The player is working fine (I can play any presented item), the live section is OK

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. go to "replay / Belgium / RTBF Auvio"
2. chose any category "eg: Films"
3. chose any subcategory "eg: Action"
4. the list of videos is not what expected and is always the same

I don't have a Belgian vpn. Only Belgian people may have a look at this.

[xaviermiller]

How can I help? I am software developer

[joaopa00]

The best way to help this project is to send patches.

For RTBF Auvio, you could have a look at the file resource/lib/channels/be/rtbf.py

[xaviermiller]

Sure will do. I've looked at this code file, I will check the parameters and URL's

[xaviermiller]

It seems the APIs are changed (_next), the search API is now 1.23. This will be complicated for me to understand how it woked before and how it should work. Will still try...

seems based on red bee media

[cvandeplas]

The list of videos is provided by the list_videos_category() function, which uses URL_VIDEOS_BY_CAT_ID.
That variable is using v8 of the API.

The RTBF API documentation mentions v9 is the official version and previous v7, v8 are deprecated.
The documentation however does not give more details on how to use v9.

Filtering using the program_id works fine, it's just the category_id that's broken in API v8.

[xaviermiller]

yes, seems categoryid is the problem...

list of categories : https://www.rtbf.be/api/partner/generic/embed/category?method=getTree&v=1&partnerID=
gives for example "Films / comédie" = >id=105

and the list by category, as documented in V8 gives wrong results:
https://www.rtbf.be/api/partner/generic/media/objectlist?v=9&category_id=105&target_site=mediaz&offset=0&limit=10&partner_key=

[xaviermiller]

meanwhile seems I've fixed the search function, and can then pick the video I want to watch...

Maybe you could share your work for interested people.
