TV Time Rescue 0.1.2

TV Time Rescue helps you recover your TV Time movies, TV shows, watch history, ratings, and other data from a local iPhone or iPad backup. It then generates Excel spreadsheets and an interactive HTML report that you can open in any web browser.

✨ What's New

  • Optional TheTVDB integration to enrich your library with:
    • Series descriptions
    • Genres
    • Complete season and episode lists
  • Your original watched status is preserved and overlaid on the enriched data.
  • Episodes that cannot be verified remain marked as Unknown instead of being guessed.
  • Episodes are grouped by season with clear Watched, Not Watched, and Unknown states.
  • Local API response caching for much faster subsequent runs.
  • Works perfectly without a TheTVDB API key.
