+### ✅ Fixed: NFO Service 503 Error (2026-01-18)
+
+**Issue:** Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 503 (Service Unavailable) when creating NFO files.
+
+**Root Cause:** The TMDB API key configured in `data/config.json` was not being loaded into the application settings during startup. The NFO service dependency check was failing because `settings.tmdb_api_key` was None.
+
+**Solution:** Updated `fastapi_app.py` startup code to sync NFO configuration (including TMDB API key) from `data/config.json` to `settings` object, similar to how `anime_directory` was already being synced.
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- [src/server/fastapi_app.py](../src/server/fastapi_app.py)
+
+**Verification:** NFO endpoints now return 200 OK instead of 503, and NFO creation is functional.
