chore: update gitignore and vscode settings for venv, clean up instructions

- Reset _queue_progress_initialized after each queue run so the next
  run re-creates the 'download_queue' progress entry
- Handle 'already exists' ProgressServiceError in _init_queue_progress
  as a no-op success to cover concurrent-start edge cases
- Guard stop_downloads() progress update to avoid crashing when the
  entry was never created

+## Application Lifecycle
+
+### Initialization
+
+On first startup, the application performs a one-time sync of series from data files to the database:
+
+1. FastAPI lifespan starts
+2. Database is initialized
+3. `sync_series_from_data_files()` reads all data files from the anime directory (creates temporary SeriesApp)
+4. Series metadata is synced to the database
+5. DownloadService initializes (triggers main `SeriesApp` creation)
+6. `SeriesApp` loads series from database via service layer (not from files)
+
+On subsequent startups, the same flow applies but the sync finds no new series. `SeriesApp` always initializes with an empty series list (`skip_load=True`) and loads data from the database on demand, avoiding redundant file system scans.
+
+### Adding New Series
+
+When adding a new series:
+
+1. Series is added to the database via `AnimeService`
+2. Data file is created in the anime directory
+3. In-memory `SerieList` is updated via `load_series_from_list()`

+## 12. Startup Sequence
+
+The FastAPI lifespan function (`src/server/fastapi_app.py`) runs the following steps on every server start.
+
+### 12.1 Startup Order
+
+```
+1. Logging configured
+
+2. Temp folder purged  ← cleans leftover partial download files
+   +-- Iterate ./Temp/ and delete every file and sub-directory
+   +-- Create ./Temp/ if it does not exist
+   +-- Errors are logged as warnings; startup continues regardless
+
+3. Database initialised (required – abort on failure)
+   +-- SQLite file created / migrated via init_db()
+
+4. Configuration loaded from data/config.json
+   +-- Synced to settings (ENV vars take precedence)
+
+5. Progress & WebSocket services wired up
+
+6. Series loaded from database into memory
+
+7. Download service initialised (queue restored from DB)
+
+8. Background loader service started
+
+9. Scheduler service started
+
+10. NFO repair scan (queue incomplete tvshow.nfo files for background reload)
+```
+
+### 12.2 Temp Folder Guarantee
+
+Every server start begins with a clean `./Temp/` directory. This ensures that partial `.part` files or stale temp videos from a crashed or force-killed previous session are never left behind before new downloads start.

 ## 4. Design Patterns
 
-### 4.1 Repository Pattern
+### 4.1 Repository Pattern (Service Layer as Repository)
 
-Database access is abstracted through repository classes.
+**Architecture Decision**: The Service Layer serves as the Repository layer for database access.
+
+Database access is abstracted through service classes in `src/server/database/service.py` that provide CRUD operations and act as the repository layer. This eliminates the need for a separate repository layer while maintaining clean separation of concerns.
+
+**Service Layer Classes** (acting as repositories):
+
+- `AnimeSeriesService` - CRUD operations for anime series
+- `EpisodeService` - CRUD operations for episodes
+- `DownloadQueueService` - CRUD operations for download queue
+- `UserSessionService` - CRUD operations for user sessions
+- `SystemSettingsService` - CRUD operations for system settings
+
+**Key Principles**:
+
+1. **No Direct Database Queries**: Controllers and business logic services MUST use service layer methods
+2. **Service Layer Encapsulation**: All SQLAlchemy queries are encapsulated in service methods
+3. **Consistent Interface**: Services provide consistent async methods for all database operations
+4. **Single Responsibility**: Each service manages one entity type
+
+**Example Usage**:
 
 ```python
-# QueueRepository provides CRUD for download items
+# CORRECT: Use service layer
+from src.server.database.service import AnimeSeriesService
+
+async with get_db_session() as db:
+    series = await AnimeSeriesService.get_by_key(db, "attack-on-titan")
+    await AnimeSeriesService.update(db, series.id, has_nfo=True)
+
+# INCORRECT: Direct database query
+result = await db.execute(select(AnimeSeries).filter(...))  # ❌ Never do this
+```
+
+**Special Case - Queue Repository Adapter**:
+
+The `QueueRepository` in `src/server/services/queue_repository.py` is an adapter that wraps `DownloadQueueService` to provide domain model conversion between Pydantic models and SQLAlchemy models:
+
+```python
+# QueueRepository provides CRUD with model conversion
 class QueueRepository:
-    async def save_item(self, item: DownloadItem) -> None: ...
+    async def save_item(self, item: DownloadItem) -> None: ...  # Converts Pydantic → SQLAlchemy
-    async def get_all_items(self) -> List[DownloadItem]: ...
+    async def get_all_items(self) -> List[DownloadItem]: ...    # Converts SQLAlchemy → Pydantic
     async def delete_item(self, item_id: str) -> bool: ...
 ```

 ```
 
+### 4.5 Error Handling Pattern
+
+**Architecture Decision**: Dual error handling approach based on exception source.
+
+The application uses two complementary error handling mechanisms:
+
+1. **FastAPI HTTPException** - For simple validation and HTTP-level errors
+2. **Custom Exception Hierarchy** - For business logic and service-level errors with rich context
+
+#### Exception Hierarchy
+
+```python
+# Base exception with HTTP status mapping
+AniWorldAPIException(message, status_code, error_code, details)
+├── AuthenticationError (401)
+├── AuthorizationError (403)
+├── ValidationError (422)
+├── NotFoundError (404)
+├── ConflictError (409)
+├── BadRequestError (400)
+├── RateLimitError (429)
+└── ServerError (500)
+    ├── DownloadError
+    ├── ConfigurationError
+    ├── ProviderError
+    └── DatabaseError
+```
+
+#### When to Use Each
+
+**Use HTTPException for:**
+
+- Simple parameter validation (missing fields, wrong type)
+- Direct HTTP-level errors (401, 403, 404 without business context)
+- Quick endpoint-specific failures
+
+**Use Custom Exceptions for:**
+
+- Service-layer business logic errors (AnimeServiceError, ConfigServiceError)
+- Errors needing rich context (details dict, error codes)
+- Errors that should be logged with specific categorization
+- Cross-cutting concerns (authentication, authorization, rate limiting)
+
+**Example:**
+
+```python
+# Simple validation - Use HTTPException
+if not series_key:
+    raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="series_key required")
+
+# Business logic error - Use custom exception
+try:
+    await anime_service.add_series(series_key)
+except AnimeServiceError as e:
+    raise ServerError(
+        message=f"Failed to add series: {e}",
+        error_code="ANIME_ADD_FAILED",
+        details={"series_key": series_key}
+    )
+```
+
+#### Global Exception Handlers
+
+All custom exceptions are automatically handled by global middleware that:
+
+- Converts exceptions to structured JSON responses
+- Logs errors with appropriate severity
+- Includes request ID for tracking
+- Provides consistent error format

+
+## [1.3.1] - 2026-02-22
+
+### Added
+
+- **Temp file cleanup after every download** (`src/core/providers/aniworld_provider.py`,
+  `src/core/providers/enhanced_provider.py`): Module-level helper
+  `_cleanup_temp_file()` removes the working temp file and any yt-dlp `.part`
+  fragments after each download attempt — on success, on failure, and on
+  exceptions (including `BrokenPipeError` and cancellation). Ensures that no
+  partial files accumulate in `./Temp/` across multiple runs.
+- **Temp folder purge on server start** (`src/server/fastapi_app.py`): The
+  FastAPI lifespan startup now iterates `./Temp/` and deletes every file and
+  sub-directory before the rest of the initialisation sequence runs. If the
+  folder does not exist it is created. Errors are caught and logged as warnings
+  so that they never abort startup.
+
+---
+
+## [1.3.0] - 2026-02-22
+
+### Added
+
+- **NFO tag completeness (`nfo_mapper.py`)**: All 17 required NFO tags are now
+  explicitly populated during creation: `originaltitle`, `sorttitle`, `year`,
+  `plot`, `outline`, `tagline`, `runtime`, `premiered`, `status`, `imdbid`,
+  `genre`, `studio`, `country`, `actor`, `watched`, `dateadded`, `mpaa`.
+- **`src/core/utils/nfo_mapper.py`**: New module containing
+  `tmdb_to_nfo_model()`, `_extract_rating_by_country()`, and
+  `_extract_fsk_rating()`. Extracted from `NFOService` to keep files under
+  500 lines and isolate pure mapping logic.
+- **US MPAA rating**: `_extract_rating_by_country(ratings, "US")` now maps the
+  US TMDB content rating to the `<mpaa>` NFO tag.
+- **`NfoRepairService` (`src/core/services/nfo_repair_service.py`)**: New service
+  that detects incomplete `tvshow.nfo` files and triggers TMDB re-fetch.
+  Provides `parse_nfo_tags()`, `find_missing_tags()`, `nfo_needs_repair()`, and
+  `NfoRepairService.repair_series()`. 13 required tags are checked.
+- **`perform_nfo_repair_scan()` startup hook
+  (`src/server/services/initialization_service.py`)**: New async function
+  called during application startup. Iterates every series directory, checks
+  whether `tvshow.nfo` is missing required tags using `nfo_needs_repair()`, and
+  either queues the series for background reload (when a `background_loader` is
+  provided) or calls `NfoRepairService.repair_series()` directly. Skips
+  gracefully when `tmdb_api_key` or `anime_directory` is not configured.
+- **NFO repair wired into startup lifespan (`src/server/fastapi_app.py`)**:
+  `perform_nfo_repair_scan(background_loader)` is called at the end of the
+  FastAPI lifespan startup, after `perform_media_scan_if_needed`, ensuring
+  every existing series NFO is checked and repaired on each server start.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `NFOService._tmdb_to_nfo_model()` and `NFOService._extract_fsk_rating()` moved
+  to `src/core/utils/nfo_mapper.py` as module-level functions
+  `tmdb_to_nfo_model()` and `_extract_fsk_rating()`.
+- `src/core/services/nfo_service.py` reduced from 640 → 471 lines.
+
+---
+
+## [Unreleased] - 2026-01-18
+
+### Added
+
+- **Cron-based Scheduler**: Replaced the asyncio sleep-loop with APScheduler's `AsyncIOScheduler + CronTrigger`
+    - Schedule rescans at a specific **time of day** (`HH:MM`) on selected **days of the week**
+    - New `SchedulerConfig` fields: `schedule_time` (default `"03:00"`), `schedule_days` (default all 7), `auto_download_after_rescan` (default `false`)
+    - Old `interval_minutes` field retained for backward compatibility
+- **Auto-download after rescan**: When `auto_download_after_rescan` is enabled, missing episodes are automatically queued for download after each scheduled rescan
+- **Day-of-week UI**: New day-of-week pill toggles (Mon–Sun) in the Settings → Scheduler section
+- **Live config reload**: POST `/api/scheduler/config` reschedules the APScheduler job without restarting the application
+- **Enriched API response**: GET/POST `/api/scheduler/config` now returns `{"success", "config", "status"}` envelope including `next_run`, `last_run`, and `scan_in_progress`
+
+### Changed
+
+- Scheduler API response format: previously returned flat config; now returns `{"success": true, "config": {...}, "status": {...}}`
+- `reload_config()` is now a synchronous method accepting a `SchedulerConfig` argument (previously async, no arguments)
+- Dependencies: added `APScheduler>=3.10.4` to `requirements.txt`
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Series Visibility**: Fixed issue where series added to the database weren't appearing in the API/UI
+    - Series are now loaded from database into SeriesApp's in-memory cache on startup
+    - Added `_load_series_from_db()` call after initial database sync in FastAPI lifespan
+- **Episode Tracking**: Fixed missing episodes not being saved to database when adding new series
+    - Missing episodes are now persisted to the `episodes` table after the targeted scan
+    - Episodes are properly synced during rescan operations (added/removed based on filesystem state)
+- **Database Synchronization**: Improved data consistency between database and in-memory cache
+    - Rescan process properly updates episodes: adds new missing episodes, removes downloaded ones
+    - All series operations now maintain database and cache synchronization
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- Modified `src/server/fastapi_app.py` to load series from database after sync
+- Modified `src/server/api/anime.py` to save scanned episodes to database
+- Episodes table properly tracks missing episodes with automatic cleanup

 ### Configuration Sources
 
-Aniworld uses a layered configuration system:
+Aniworld uses a layered configuration system with **explicit precedence rules**:
 
-1. **Environment Variables** (highest priority)
+1. **Environment Variables** (highest priority) - Takes precedence over all other sources
-2. **`.env` file** in project root
+2. **`.env` file** in project root - Loaded as environment variables

-4. **Default values** (lowest priority)
+4. **Default values** (lowest priority) - Built-in fallback values
+
+### Precedence Rules
+
+**Critical Principle**: `ENV VARS > config.json > defaults`
+
+- **Environment variables always win**: If a value is set via environment variable, it will NOT be overridden by config.json
+- **config.json as fallback**: If an ENV var is not set (or is empty/default), the value from config.json is used
+- **Defaults as last resort**: Built-in default values are used only if neither ENV var nor config.json provide a value
 
 ### Loading Mechanism
 
-Configuration is loaded at application startup via Pydantic Settings.
+Configuration is loaded at application startup in `src/server/fastapi_app.py`:
 
-```python
+1. **Pydantic Settings** loads ENV vars and .env file with defaults
-# src/config/settings.py
+2. **config.json** is loaded via `ConfigService`
-class Settings(BaseSettings):
+3. **Selective sync**: config.json values sync to settings **only if** ENV var not set
-    model_config = SettingsConfigDict(env_file=".env", extra="ignore")
+4. **Runtime access**: Code uses `settings` object (which has final merged values)
+
+**Example**:
+
+```bash
+# If ENV var is set:
+ANIME_DIRECTORY=/env/path  # This takes precedence
+
+# config.json has:
+{"other": {"anime_directory": "/config/path"}}  # This is ignored
+
+# Result: settings.anime_directory = "/env/path"
 ```

+# NFO Metadata Guide
+
+## Document Purpose
+
+This guide explains how to use the NFO metadata feature to enrich your anime library with TMDB metadata and artwork for Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+### What are NFO Files?
+
+NFO files are XML documents that contain metadata about TV shows and episodes. Media servers like Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi use these files to display information about your library without needing to scrape external sources.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Automatic NFO Creation**: Generate NFO files during downloads
+- **TMDB Integration**: Fetch metadata from The Movie Database
+- **Image Downloads**: Poster, fanart, and logo images
+- **Batch Operations**: Create/update NFO files for multiple anime
+- **Web UI**: Manage NFO settings and operations
+- **API Access**: Programmatic NFO management
+
+---
+
+## 2. Getting Started
+
+### 2.1 Obtain TMDB API Key
+
+1. Create a free account at https://www.themoviedb.org
+2. Navigate to https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api
+3. Request an API key (select "Developer" option)
+4. Copy your API key (v3 auth)
+
+### 2.2 Configure NFO Settings
+
+#### Via Web Interface
+
+1. Open http://127.0.0.1:8000
+2. Click **Configuration** button
+3. Scroll to **NFO Settings** section
+4. Enter your TMDB API key
+5. Click **Test Connection** to verify
+6. Configure options:
+    - **Auto-create during downloads**: Enable to create NFO files automatically
+    - **Update on library scan**: Enable to refresh existing NFO files
+    - **Download poster**: Episode and show poster images (poster.jpg)
+    - **Download logo**: Show logo images (logo.png)
+    - **Download fanart**: Background artwork (fanart.jpg)
+    - **Image size**: Select w500 (recommended), w780, or original
+7. Click **Save**
+
+#### Via Environment Variables
+
+Add to your `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+TMDB_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+NFO_AUTO_CREATE=true
+NFO_UPDATE_ON_SCAN=false
+NFO_DOWNLOAD_POSTER=true
+NFO_DOWNLOAD_LOGO=false
+NFO_DOWNLOAD_FANART=false
+NFO_IMAGE_SIZE=w500
+```
+
+#### Via config.json
+
+Edit `data/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+    "nfo": {
+        "tmdb_api_key": "your_api_key_here",
+        "auto_create": true,
+        "update_on_scan": false,
+        "download_poster": true,
+        "download_logo": false,
+        "download_fanart": false,
+        "image_size": "w500"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Using NFO Features
+
+### 3.1 Automatic NFO Creation
+
+With `auto_create` enabled, NFO files are created automatically when downloading episodes:
+
+1. Add episodes to download queue
+2. Start queue processing
+3. NFO files are created after successful downloads
+4. Images are downloaded based on configuration
+
+### 3.2 Manual NFO Creation
+
+#### Via Web Interface
+
+1. Navigate to the main page
+2. Click **Create NFO** button next to an anime
+3. Wait for completion notification
+
+#### Via API
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/nfo/create" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "anime_id": 123,
+    "folder_path": "/path/to/anime/Attack on Titan"
+  }'

+
+## 6. Troubleshooting
+
+### 6.1 NFO Files Not Created
+
+**Problem**: NFO files are not being created during downloads.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Verify TMDB API key is configured correctly
+2. Check `auto_create` is enabled in settings
+3. Ensure anime directory has write permissions
+4. Check logs for error messages
+5. Test TMDB connection using "Test Connection" button
+
+### 6.2 Invalid TMDB API Key
+
+**Problem**: TMDB validation fails with "Invalid API key".
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Verify API key is copied correctly (no extra spaces)
+2. Ensure you're using the v3 API key (not v4)
+3. Check API key is active on TMDB website
+4. Try regenerating API key on TMDB
+
+### 6.3 Images Not Downloading
+
+**Problem**: NFO files are created but images are missing.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Enable image downloads in settings (poster/logo/fanart)
+2. Verify TMDB API key is valid
+3. Check network connectivity to TMDB servers
+4. Ensure sufficient disk space
+5. Check file permissions in anime directory
+
+### 6.4 Incorrect Metadata
+
+**Problem**: NFO contains wrong show information.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Verify anime title matches TMDB exactly
+2. Use TMDB ID if available for accurate matching
+3. Update NFO files with `force=true` to refresh metadata
+4. Check TMDB website for correct show information
+
+### 6.5 Permission Errors
+
+**Problem**: "Permission denied" when creating NFO files.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Check anime directory permissions: `chmod 755 /path/to/anime`
+2. Ensure application user has write access
+3. Verify directory ownership: `chown -R user:group /path/to/anime`
+4. Check parent directories are accessible
+
+### 6.6 Slow NFO Creation
+
+**Problem**: NFO creation takes a long time.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Reduce image size (use w500 instead of original)
+2. Disable unnecessary images (logo, fanart)
+3. Create NFOs in batches during off-peak hours
+4. Check network speed to TMDB servers
+5. Verify disk I/O performance
+
+---
+
+## 7. Best Practices
+
+### 7.1 Configuration Recommendations
+
+- **Image Size**: Use `w500` for optimal balance of quality and storage
+- **Auto-create**: Enable for new downloads
+- **Update on scan**: Disable to avoid unnecessary TMDB API calls
+- **Poster**: Always enable for show and episode thumbnails
+- **Logo/Fanart**: Enable only if your media server supports them
+
+### 7.2 Maintenance
+
+- **Regular Updates**: Update NFO files quarterly to get latest metadata
+- **Backup**: Include NFO files in your backup strategy
+- **Validation**: Periodically check missing NFOs using `/api/nfo/missing`
+- **API Rate Limits**: Be mindful of TMDB API rate limits when batch processing
+
+### 7.3 Performance
+
+- **Batch Operations**: Use batch endpoints for multiple anime
+- **Off-Peak Processing**: Create NFOs during low-activity periods
+- **Image Optimization**: Use smaller image sizes for large libraries
+- **Selective Updates**: Only update NFOs when metadata changes
+
+### 7.4 Media Server Integration
+
+#### Plex
+
+- Use "Personal Media Shows" agent
+- Enable "Local Media Assets" scanner
+- Place NFO files in anime directories
+- Refresh metadata after creating NFOs
+
+#### Jellyfin
+
+- Use "NFO" metadata provider
+- Enable in Library settings
+- Order providers: NFO first, then online sources
+- Scan library after NFO creation
+
+#### Emby
+
+- Enable "NFO" metadata reader
+- Configure in Library advanced settings
+- Use "Prefer embedded metadata" option
+- Refresh metadata after updates
+
+#### Kodi
+
+- NFO files are automatically detected
+- No additional configuration needed
+- Update library to see changes
+
+---
+
+## 8. Advanced Usage
+
+### 8.1 Custom NFO Templates
+
+You can customize NFO generation by modifying the NFO service:
+
+```python
+# src/core/services/nfo_creator.py
+def generate_tvshow_nfo(self, metadata: dict) -> str:
+    # Add custom fields or modify structure
+    pass
+```
+
+### 8.2 Bulk Operations
+
+Create NFOs for entire library:
+
+```bash
+# Get all anime without NFOs
+curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/nfo/missing" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  | jq -r '.anime_list[].anime_id' \
+  | xargs -I{} curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/nfo/batch/create" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"anime_ids": [{}]}'
+```
+
+### 8.3 Scheduled Updates
+
+Use the scheduler API to refresh NFOs automatically:
+
+```bash
+# Schedule weekly NFO updates (rescan runs Sunday at 03:00)
+curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/scheduler/config" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "enabled": true,
+    "schedule_time": "03:00",
+    "schedule_days": ["sun"],
+    "auto_download_after_rescan": false
+  }'
+```

+(`generate_tvshow_nfo`).
+
+---
+
+## 11. Automatic NFO Repair
+
+Every time the server starts, Aniworld scans all existing `tvshow.nfo` files and
+automatically repairs any that are missing required tags.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Scan** — `perform_nfo_repair_scan()` in
+   `src/server/services/initialization_service.py` is called from the FastAPI
+   lifespan after `perform_media_scan_if_needed()`.
+2. **Detect** — `nfo_needs_repair(nfo_path)` from
+   `src/core/services/nfo_repair_service.py` parses each `tvshow.nfo` with
+   `lxml` and checks for the 13 required tags listed below.
+3. **Repair** — Series whose NFO is incomplete are queued for background reload
+   via `BackgroundLoaderService.add_series_loading_task()`. The background
+   loader re-fetches metadata from TMDB and rewrites the NFO with all tags
+   populated.
+
+### Tags Checked (13 required)
+
+| XPath             | Tag name        |
+| ----------------- | --------------- |
+| `./title`         | `title`         |
+| `./originaltitle` | `originaltitle` |
+| `./year`          | `year`          |
+| `./plot`          | `plot`          |
+| `./runtime`       | `runtime`       |
+| `./premiered`     | `premiered`     |
+| `./status`        | `status`        |
+| `./imdbid`        | `imdbid`        |
+| `./genre`         | `genre`         |
+| `./studio`        | `studio`        |
+| `./country`       | `country`       |
+| `./actor/name`    | `actor/name`    |
+| `./watched`       | `watched`       |
+
+### Log Messages
+
+| Message                                                     | Meaning                                           |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| `NFO repair scan complete: 0 of N series queued for repair` | All NFOs are complete — no action needed          |
+| `NFO repair scan complete: X of N series queued for repair` | X series had incomplete NFOs and have been queued |
+| `NFO repair scan skipped: TMDB API key not configured`      | Set `tmdb_api_key` in `data/config.json`          |
+| `NFO repair scan skipped: anime directory not configured`   | Set `anime_directory` in `data/config.json`       |
+
+### Triggering a Manual Repair
+
+You can also repair a single series on demand via the API:
+
+```http
+POST /api/nfo/update/{series_key}
+```
+
+This calls `NFOService.update_tvshow_nfo()` directly and overwrites the existing
+`tvshow.nfo` with fresh data from TMDB.
+
+### Source Files
