Wait up to 10 seconds for the current API rate-limit period to expire… #171
Conversation
… instead of 10 or more seconds. It should be sleeping until the current 40 reqs / 10 seconds rate window is closed instead of waiting 10 seconds. I was seeing 40 requests in about 9 seconds due to network latency, so it should have been sleeping 1 second or so. It turns out that when handling of the rate limiting was put in, max() was used instead of min(). The section of code that changed should have used min() since it needs to wait for up to 10 seconds to comply with the rate limit guidelines set by tmdb (https://www.themoviedb.org/faq/api).

The way the code now works, if my understanding is correct, that the time specified in the retry-after field is used with a minimum time of 10 seconds. So if the retry-after time is for example 15 seconds then 15 seconds is used. The description mentions that the time used for retries is not taken into account and that this time should be subtracted from the wait time. This may make sense but that is not what the implementation does. |

The corresponding trac issue is https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/13325 BTW, the new thetvdb.com api used by ttvdbv4.py takes longer to fetch a single entry than tmdb3.py. |
