It looks like the URL for the poster contains more than 255 characters so the state can’t be displayed or stored.

Is there any way around it?

6

no. the state is always limited to 255 characters.

you can store longer strings in an entity’s attributes but I don’t know if that will help you.

7

do you know how i could make it in to a attribute?
like:
json_attributes:
- “url”

in case anyone has the same question, here is the working sensor:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      kodi_recently_movies_1:

        attribute_templates:

          name: >- 
            {{ state_attr('sensor.kodi_recently_added_movies', 'data').split('{')[2].split('"title": "')[1].split('",')[0]}}
