NOTE: Your TGDb API query count will automatically reduce by 4 each month. This is needed to update the Platform/Genre caches and the Publisher/Developer database files. This is to continue displaying information that was available from the old API at TGDb that is now a separate query in the new API.

• Fix - Errors being generated due to change in API interface at TGDb

An update to the Game Thread Starter for XenForo 2.x has been released. Those that have purchased this add-on, please log into your account on my site to download this update.

• Change - Add-on now uses new API at TGDb
• Change - Genres now obtained from TGDb API
• Add - Warning about screenshot/fanart API query
• Add - Query remaining count at bottom of add-on options
• Remove - Automated update cron task

NOTE: The TGDb API now has some strict limits on the number of queries a site can make per month (1500). There is nothing I can do about that. If you use your query limit, you should be presented with an error from TGDb.

Also, I've removed the automated update cron task. That could in theory eat up the entire site query limit because each page returned by the update query counts against your monthly limit.

When you first install or upgrade to this version you will use 2 queries to obtain and cache the current Platform and Genre lists from TGDb.
