The TMDB key highsea gets film details with, its own or yours, and the language and region those details come in.
Written for highsea 0.2.0-beta.3.
Where film details come from, and the language and region they're in. highsea gets titles, posters, cast and release dates from TMDB, with its own key unless you add yours. Only the Owner can change these.
The TMDB key
The key shows as Set, with its last four characters, when you've added your own. Otherwise it shows highsea’s key: highsea's own key is in use, and everything works without one of yours. A key of your own wins over highsea's.
highsea's key is built into its published image. If you built highsea yourself without one, the key shows Not set, and Discover, adding films and refreshing their details don't work until you add yours; System › Health says so. The library and its pages keep working.
To add or change your key:
- Copy your key from TMDB's API settings. Either the API Key or the API Read Access Token works.
- With no key set, paste it into New TMDB key. With one set, choose Replace first.
- Choose Save. highsea checks the key with TMDB before it keeps it. If TMDB refuses it, copy it again; if TMDB can't be reached, nothing is saved, so check the server's internet connection and try again.
Remove takes your key away after you confirm, and highsea goes back to its own.
