TMDB fiches are fetched lazily, on browse, and the fetch used to run whatever
the moment it was first triggered — routinely before the operator had opened
settings and picked a language, so it queried in TMDB's English default. Then
the fiche was cached by tmdb_id alone, with no note of language and a 30-day
TTL, so switching to the intended language afterwards changed nothing: the
English fiche was served until it expired. The operator's only recourse was to
find and wipe the cache by hand (found live 2026-09-26: a whole library indexed
in English although "Français" had been chosen).
Two rules now, both there to make the first fetch the right language rather
than English-then-corrected, and to stop the doubled requests that eventually
get a node rate-limited:
- No language configured, no query. media_meta_req/season_meta_req answer
confidence 0 and make no TMDB call while tmdb_language is unset; the fetch
waits for the operator's choice, so the first (and only) query is in it.
English is now a first-class choice (en-US), not the default of skipping the
setting.
- Changing the language wipes the metadata cache (ops.set_tmdb_config), so the
new language takes effect on an already-browsed library. The file->tmdb
matches are language-independent and kept. The client refetches on the
tmdb_config_ack that carries the new language, so the grid updates without a
page reload.
docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §9.7 states both rules; tests cover the gate and the
cache wipe, and two existing handler harnesses now declare a language.
