⚠️ Needs Refinement (5%)

1. Unit Tests (40% complete, needs major updates)

Current Status:

• ✅ Test files created for all modules:
  • tests/unit/test_tmdb_client.py (16 tests, all failing)
  • tests/unit/test_nfo_generator.py (21 tests, 18 passing, 3 failing)
  • tests/unit/test_image_downloader.py (23 tests, all failing)

Issues: The tests were written based on assumptions about the API that don't match the actual implementation:

1. ImageDownloader Issues:

   • Tests assume context manager (__aenter__), but not implemented
   • Tests assume _validate_image() method, actual is validate_image() (no underscore)
   • Tests assume session attribute, but ImageDownloader creates sessions internally
   • Tests try to mock session.get(), but implementation uses aiohttp.ClientSession() directly in method
   • Tests assume ImageValidationError exception, but only ImageDownloadError exists

2. NFO Generator Issues:

   • 3 tests failing due to XML validation logic differences
   • Need to review actual lxml etree behavior

3. TMDB Client Issues:

   • Tests assume session attribute for mocking, need to check actual implementation
   • Tests assume _make_request() method, need to verify API

Refactoring Needed:

• ❗ Critical Challenge: aiohttp mocking is complex due to nested async context managers
• Alternative Approach Recommended:
  1. Create integration test script with real API calls (see below)
  2. Focus unit tests on business logic (NFO conversion, file operations)
  3. Mock at higher level (mock download_image method, not aiohttp internals)
  4. Consider adding dependency injection to make testing easier
• Or: Simplify implementation to use requests library (sync) for easier testing
• Add integration tests with real API calls (optional, for manual verification)

2. Integration with SerieList (Not started)

Needs Implementation:

• Integrate NFOService into SerieList scan process
• Add auto-create logic based on NFO_AUTO_CREATE setting
• Add update logic based on NFO_UPDATE_ON_SCAN setting
• Test end-to-end NFO creation flow

3. CLI Commands (Not started)

Optional Enhancement: Add CLI commands for NFO management:

# Create NFO for specific series
python src/cli/Main.py nfo create "Attack on Titan" --year 2013

# Update existing NFO
python src/cli/Main.py nfo update "Attack on Titan"

# Bulk create for all series
python src/cli/Main.py nfo create-all

# Check NFO status
python src/cli/Main.py nfo status

Low Priority

5. Documentation (30 minutes)

   • Document TMDB API setup (getting API key)
   • Document NFO file format and Kodi compatibility
   • Add examples to README
   • Update ARCHITECTURE.md with NFO components

6. API Endpoints (Future, separate task)

   • POST /api/series/{id}/nfo - Create/update NFO
   • GET /api/series/{id}/nfo - Get NFO status
   • DELETE /api/series/{id}/nfo - Delete NFO

🐛 Known Issues

1. NFOService.update_tvshow_nfo() - Not implemented

   • Marked with raise NotImplementedError
   • Need to parse existing NFO to extract TMDB ID
   • Then refetch and regenerate

2. Test Failures - See "Unit Tests" section above

3. No Error Recovery - If TMDB API fails during scan

   • Need to handle gracefully
   • Don't block scan if NFO creation fails
   • Log errors but continue

📝 Testing Checklist

Once tests are fixed, verify:

• TMDBClient can search for shows
• TMDBClient handles year filtering
• TMDBClient gets detailed show info
• TMDBClient downloads images
• TMDBClient handles rate limits
• TMDBClient handles API errors
• NFO generator creates valid XML
• NFO generator handles Unicode
• NFO generator escapes special chars
• ImageDownloader validates images
• ImageDownloader retries on failure
• ImageDownloader skips existing files
• NFOService creates complete NFO
• NFOService downloads all media
• NFOService handles missing images
• All tests pass with > 85% coverage

💡 Recommendations

Immediate Actions

1. Invest time in fixing tests - they provide essential validation
2. Add simple integration test script for manual verification
3. Test with a few real anime series to validate Kodi compatibility

Architecture Improvements

1. Consider adding context manager to ImageDownloader for consistency
2. Add more detailed logging in NFOService for debugging
3. Consider caching TMDB results more aggressively

Future Enhancements

1. Support for episode-level NFO files (episodedetails)
2. Support for season-level NFO files
3. Background task for bulk NFO creation
4. Web UI for NFO management
5. TMDB language/region settings
6. Fallback to TVDB if TMDB fails
