Problem with "with_genres" query param in now_playing

Hi, i noticed that i can't filter now_playing movies by genres using "with_genres" query param anymore. It worked well something like few days ago. Has this option was removed from "now_playing"? I checked my API URL and nothing wrong with him. In documentation i saw that "with_genres" param is available in "discover/movie". I checked this and with that 'category' "with_genres" query param works perfectly well

Hi @kristof49,
That was never a supported filter, on anything but discover.
You're best bet is to update your query to a discover query, that way you can use any of the ~30 available filters including
with_genres.Reply by kristof49

Okay...That's make me so confused, because i swear the God that this combination (now_playing and with_genres) worked in my project until yesterday...I don't know how that was possible if like u said, that never was supported. But thank you for the answer
