Otaku 5.3.1 Just Broke Everything for Me

UPDATE: 5.3.2 fixed the streaming issue and switching my Meta API to Anilist made Monster show up. Thank you all :)

I’m on Kodi 22 on an X96 max running android, and I had auto updates for Otaku on. Everything was working fine. Then it updated today.

I logged on today to watch Monster (2004) and it wasn’t able to scrape. When I clicked on an episode it wouldn’t show any providers and just freeze. I use real-debrid but I’ve enabled it and disabled it and it doesn’t change anything.

So then I decided to try to reinstall the add on, and when I reinstalled it, I could no longer find Monster anywhere, not with search, not with top 100 (which is how I initially found it cause I had the search bug at the time), it’s just gone!

Afterwards I decided to try and watch something else, two other animes I tried had the same scraping freeze error.

The app doesn’t quit, no error is produced, it just freezes forcing me to restart kodi.

The good news is, I installed Otaku testing and scraping seems to work there, but Monster is still not showing up.

I spent about an hour and a half trying to debug it but I fear the problems are outside my reach.

Anybody else have any similar issues? Or should I be migrating to Prism? I tried installing it but I’m unfamiliar with how to setup the provides, and the app seemed to run a bit slower than Otaku.

PS goldenfreddy if you’re reading this thank you for all the effort you put in, I’m not trying to harp on you, I use your add-on more than any other and I just want it to work!
