@petesix0: Ah yes, the very same issue is being talked about in there. Sorry, probably should have read that. I guess this thread can be deleted if necessary since I'm sure rorie and the devs are aware of the issue.

Hey!

So I was watching some older videos. And after watching this mailbag (https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/giant-bomb-mailbag-southeast-asian-edition/2970-17856/free-video) and refreshing the videos page (https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/?page=334 at the point I'm writing it) this video and mailbags coming right after this one seem to be missing from the page?

After refreshing the page I was at I also noticed that I suddenly was in the area of 2011 videos so I assume this happened with a bunch of videos? I know this wouldn't be a huge priority since it seems to mainly affect old videos in the main videos list and they still show up in the "Mailbags show" page. But it would be cool anyway if this could be fixed.

Or maybe I'm just missing something?

EDIT: After looking around some more I noticed that when I go on page 50 of the latest podcasts page I see podcasts from 2017, and when I go on page 30 I see podcasts from 2014. I assume this is related to the recent bug where all the videos were reversed in order, but this time it seems like chunks are just not in the right order?

Hey!

So about a month ago I could filter the releases list with the parameter "%filter=game:[GAME_ID]" and it would return only the releases for the specific game. Now when I try to do this it gives me 100 results (the maximum) with the first one being always random.

Is this a bug? Is the filtering not supported anymore? Nothing changed in this regard on the resources page.

Would be great if this could be fixed or if it's supposed to be this way, another way to get the same results as before would be great.

Thank you!

@james_passion: Thanks for the workaround. I was having a weird problem with my project too and I guess this is the reason.

Don't really wanna change anything since the previous way was a lot better.

Do you know where we could report this problem?

Alright, I just looked into the resources list a bit more and I think we were just being idiots. At least my problem is solved now.

You can filter the /releases endpoint by game and region, it just took me a bit to figure out how.

For example to get the US Releases for Persona 5 Royal you would make a request to:

https://www.giantbomb.com/api/releases/?api_key=[YOUR API KEY]&format=json&filter=game:72602,region:1

The region id for the United States is 1 and the other number is the id (not guid) for Persona 5 Royal. You could probably filter by game name too but it didn't work when I tried it (maybe because of spaces) and using the id seems more reliable anyway.

I hope this helps you too.

I also would be interested in something like this or at least a workaround for my problem.

For example:

I would like to get the US release date for a game. Normally you can just use the release date data from the game endpoint. But for example with Persona 5 Royal this will be the first release date in Japan which is half a year before the US release date.

Now the only way to get the US release date is to make a request for every release object (which in this case would be over 20) and look for the US release date.

If anyone knows a solution for this it would be highly appreciated!

Thanks of the giveaway Rorie!
