v0.3.56

Fixed

• TMDB matching threw away exact ID matches that lacked a poster image, falling through to a fuzzy title-search that on common titles ("Vanity Fair", "Titanic", "The Watch", "The Village") cheerfully returned the wrong year or wrong medium. Two cooperating bugs:
  • Resolver bug. _resolve_tmdb and _resolve_tmdb_tvdb (and the three passes in _resolve_tmdb_search) all conditioned the match on if poster_path: — meaning if TMDB had the show registered with no poster (very common for brand-new shows like The Cage (2026) and obscure regional series), the function returned (None, "placeholder", {}) and the caller treated it as "no match". Now: the match is returned with source="tmdb" and full meta (title, year, genres, rating, media_type) regardless of whether a poster image exists; only the poster URL is conditional.
  • Caller bug. The fallback chain gated on if not poster_url. So even after fixing the resolvers, an authoritative ID match without a poster would still fall through to the title-search fuzzy fallback. Gate now reads if source == "placeholder" — once any resolver returns a TMDB-grade match, the chain stops.
• Title-search fallback no longer runs when an explicit [tvdb-N] or [tt…] ID is present in the folder name and TMDB has no record for it. If you've gone to the trouble of telling Shrinkerr exactly which show this is, and TMDB legitimately doesn't have it, falling back to a multi-search fuzzy guess can only hurt — best case it's a no-op, worst case it matches a same-titled different show. The folder name's parsed title/year/media-type are kept for display; manual override via Settings still works for any case where you want to point it at a specific TMDB entry.
• media_type backfill for TVDB-ID folders now defaults to "tv" when TMDB-find returns nothing. TVDB IDs are TV-show specific in the wild, and leaving media_type unset disabled all the TV-specific UI affordances.

This addresses cases like Wild Life (2020) [tvdb-387220], XIII (2011) [tvdb-193501], Wasted (2016) [tvdb-314650], Vanity Fair (2018) [tvdb-349513], Too Close (2021) [tvdb-377263], To The Ends Of The Earth (2005) [tvdb-251014], Titanic (2012) [tvdb-254112], The Woman in White (2018) [tvdb-336199], The Watch (2021) [tvdb-369568], The Village (2013) [tvdb-267149] / (2019) [tvdb-354024], The Unusual Suspects (2021) [tvdb-394822], and The Cage (2026) [tvdb-461846].

Existing wrongly-cached matches won't auto-correct (the resolver only runs for uncached paths). Use the manual-override flow or trigger a poster prefetch after evicting the suspect rows if you want to refresh in bulk.
