Hikari Devlog #16

Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #16 of Hikari! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

TMDB Fetching Improvements

So, this time I worked on improving the fetching method of the TMDB API.
Previously the fetch returned empty or missed the fetch alot of time, but now its quite better.

I will attach a video below showing how it works. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

And also, I have added the OMDb API as the backup for this one.

So now, if TMDB fails, OMDb can act as a fallback. Hopefully, this will make the movie recommendation system a bit more reliable. (ง •̀_•́)ง

Watch Trailer Btn Design

In the video, you can also see a simple design of the Watch Trailer button.

I mean, it’s not exactly simple, but I thought that it looks pretty good, at least to me.

But still… I spent a lot of time checking different button designs and stuff for that.

I literally spent so much time on that single button.
(╥﹏╥), hope ya all like that too

Genre Filtering

Currently, I am working on filtering the genres of the movies.

This should make it easier to get recommendations based on the genres you want. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

A Little Bug…

Also, in the video, you might see that the Watch Trailer button also appeared in the Movie section.

But that’s actually a bug that I need to fix. (￣▽￣;)

Basically, when the anime has the Watch Trailer option, and then I switch to the movie section, the button keeps appearing there as well.

I still need to figure out how to solve this one. (•́ ᴖ •̀)

To show this properly, I force restarted the site in the video as well, to show that the movie doesn’t have the Watch Trailer option in that session right now.

So yeah… another little bug to deal with. (╥﹏╥)

That’s It!

So yeah, that’s it for this devlog!

If there is anything you think I didn’t explain properly, or you want me to explain something, then please do tell me in the comments.

I’ll try my best to explain it there as well. (￣▽￣)ゞ

As always, thank you so much for reading, and have a very nice day!
