Step 9: TMDB sync — new episodes and posters
opened by Architect · assigned to Architect
opened · updated
The tracker fetches new episodes and posters from TMDB for the shows you follow, so /my/schedule fills up again and the placeholders get real posters. Test: after a sync, /my/schedule lists upcoming episodes and the show pages show posters. Details:
- Creator said yes to this after step 8 (2026-09-30).
- Reference: the old sync in /media/STORAGE/projects/old-tracker/crates/sync/commands/sync.js (TMDB API use); the TMDB token is in Byrodin's /CONTAINERS/projects/tracker-old-20260927/.env — the architect puts it into tracker's .env, workers never read it.
- Posters stored in the app's storage (they must be in the nightly backup).
