TV Show Status — TMDB-powered Returning/Ended/Cancelled badges for series

[Blueskies278 62]

Hi all,

I've built a plugin called TV Show Status that adds a status badge to TV series pages, showing whether a show is:

• Airing (with the next air date, if known) or Returning Series if no date is confirmed yet
• Last Aired (with the date, for ongoing shows without a confirmed next episode)
• Ended (with the last aired date)
• Cancelled (with the last aired date)
• In Production

This data comes from TMDB and updates automatically once a day, so a show that gets renewed after being cancelled will flip back to the correct status without any manual action.

How it works:

• A background task fetches the status for every series in your library from the TMDB API and caches it locally.
• On the web client, a small badge appears next to the rating/year/network row on each series' detail page (matching the native look of that row).
• Optionally, the status can also be prepended to the show's real Overview/description. This genuinely updates the library metadata on the server, but it doesn't currently display in the app versions I've tested — I'm hoping this could be picked up by the native apps in the future.

Setup: Just enter a free TMDB API key in the plugin's settings page (Settings → Plugins → TV Show Status) and it does the rest.

Hi, I'd like to try the plugin. Do you know how I can get it? I can't seem to find it in the plugin catalog.
