- Add loading status fields to AnimeSeries model
- Create BackgroundLoaderService for async task processing
- Update POST /api/anime/add to return 202 Accepted immediately
- Add GET /api/anime/{key}/loading-status endpoint
- Integrate background loader with startup/shutdown lifecycle
- Create database migration script for loading status fields
- Add unit tests for BackgroundLoaderService (10 tests, all passing)
- Update AnimeSeriesService.create() to accept loading status fields
Architecture follows clean separation with no code duplication:
- BackgroundLoader orchestrates, doesn't reimplement
- Reuses existing AnimeService, NFOService, WebSocket patterns
- Database-backed status survives restarts
- Parse existing NFO to extract TMDB ID from uniqueid or tmdbid element
- Fetch fresh metadata from TMDB API
- Regenerate NFO with updated data
- Optionally re-download media files
- Add comprehensive error handling (missing NFO, no TMDB ID, invalid XML)
- Add unit tests for XML parsing logic (4 tests, all passing)
- Add integration test script (requires TMDB API key)
- Created scripts/test_nfo_integration.py for manual testing
- Tests TMDB client, NFO generation, and complete workflow
- Requires real TMDB API key (not for CI)
- Downloads real data and creates sample files in test_output/
- Provides Kodi compatibility verification
- Updated task3_status.md with testing challenges and approach
