Due to the influx of new users from the Black Friday deal a service we are using reached the credits limit we set for it and new keys stopped being activated. We have now fixed this issue and all new API keys should now be properly activated.
We apologise for this inconvenience!
Our black friday deals are now live, the discount does not need any code, simply subscribe for lifetime tier that already has the price lowered by 15%.
In order to join a Lifetime Tier, you would need to subscribe to the Tier for monthly, then after receiving your API key you can cancel the subscription and your RPDB API Key will no longer expire.
Note: For users that are already on an annual subscription, Patreon does not allow changing from annual to monthly in...
We've been working on improving RatingPosterDB for the last few months, and the changes are now live!
All servers have been upgraded to 3x more CPU, 12x more RAM, 2.5x more disk space, double the bandwidth and now include even more performant caching layers for faster image delivery while still ensuring fresh ratings.
Some new features:
- brazilian portuguese and mexican spanish images! (finally!) (tier 1+)
- library items with ratings for Stremio! (tier 1+)
- l...
2025-11-26 13:02:21 +0000 UTC View PostWe fixed a bug that was influencing one layer of the cache and scaled up by adding one more server.
While it may take 24-48h for the new server to build up its own cache to reach good performance, the image download speed will soon increase for our users.
You can see the overall stability and performance of our servers at this link: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/nzWhE0sOq2/

2025-05-04 17:09:45 +0000 UTC View PostI've been working on this for a long time, and it is finally time to unveil it!

2025-03-31 17:23:08 +0000 UTC View PostWe recently updated the infrastructure with an experimental smart caching layer, this should ensure that posters download faster than ever, while also optimizing rating update frequency.
As this change is still experimental, please tell us if you experience any issues after this update.
After the recent migration to the new engine (2 days ago) we were informed by our users that they were encountering some issues. We fixed all issues that were currently reported, so the RPDB service should once again be stable and working as expected.
Make sure to tell us if you experience any other issues with the service as this was a big change for us.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
We have been working for more than a year now on completely rewriting the entirety of RatingPosterDB's code, and today, we are happy to announce that we have migrated our servers to the new engine!
While we did all the tests we could to ensure that the service will be stable, make sure to tell us if you experience any issues with the service as this is a big change.
The new engine should provide faster poster updates, fresher ratings and faster downloads, as well as open up the ...
The RatingPosterDB plugin has been approved and is now available to install directly from the official Emby Plugins catalog.
It can be found under the "General" category with the "RatingPosterDB" plugin name.
The reason why this is important is because Emby users have had various issues trying to sideload the Emby plugin on NAS devices, with the release to the Emby Plugins catalog it is now very easy to install RPDB in Emby regardless of the device where the Emby server is runni...
We have a really nice announcement today in favor of Stremio users. You can now add ratings to the official Cinemeta catalogs too! You just need to follow the steps from this link: https://cinemeta.ratingposterdb.com/

During a service update from approximately 1 week ago, a bug was introduced which would retrieve posters that were not in english (if a specific language was not selected by users).
We were recently made aware of this bug and it was now fixed, but it may take up to 2 week for the cache to expire.
We apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused to our users.
Cloudflare services were down for the majority of yesterday (2 Nov). Although RPDB worked fine during this time for all current users, the Cloudflare issues did cause all RPDB API keys for new members to fail registering during that period.
The issue has now been resolved and the API Keys should have been sent to the new users.
We also found another bug with the API Key registration (although a rare case) that was causing the keys for some users to start with "tNaN", this issue ...
When using RPDB with Stremio, each addon normally needs to create their own configuration pages, which means that each addon supports different RPDB features. (depending on what the addon developer chose to implement or not)
In order to solve this issue and bring more RPDB features to Stremio users, we have created the "Default Poster Manager", which can be accessed by going to: https://manager.ratingposterdb.com/<...
We have made infrastructure changes recently that should result in faster poster downloads for everyone!
We also greatly improved the User Key Management system to offer a better experience to our users. What does this mean for you?

- Billing will be done on the same day of initial purchase (instead the 1st of the month); thi...
