-
What is that service exactly doing? It's querying theTVDB.com to fetch alternative titles (e.g. German ones)
-
Why isn't it mentioned anywhere? Because the readme really needs to be completely redone and is already overloaded with information. I do agree that it should be mentioned somewhere of course, I just haven't had the time yet to write a new, better structured readme.
-
What kind of data does it store? TVDB-Ids and their corresponding alternative titles and aliases. User-Data that is saved for caching purposes: searched TVDB-Ids and search strings (e.g.
game of thrones s01e01). This data is not associated with any identifying information like IP-Address, User-Agent or anything. You can compare it to skyhook, the TVDB-Wrapper for Sonarr and Radarr - which, by the way, is closed source (sadly!) -
Where's the source code for this service? The source code is an absolute mess right now and needs to be created again from scratch, this was more of a quickly created proof of concept (really, it's terrible. Lot's of copy and pasted code from chatGPT and a terrible DB design :D). I've shared it before though for people who ask and will do again here of course. Once the code is recreated and makes more sense it will be put in a Github repo
-
Does it log things? No
-
Can I host it myself? Yes. All you need is a webserver with PHP and a TVDB-API-Key

I'm seeing API requests to:
https://umlautadaptarr.pcjones.de/api/v1/tvshow_german.phpThis is a pretty red flag for me honestly.
