  • Selecting another season tab immediately reloads the corresponding list.

5.5 ℹ️ Technical note on metadata

The data for a film highlighted on the VOD grid comes from the provider, while the detail page for the chosen content comes by default from TMDB. If, however, the provider does not provide the TMDB ID of this content, then the app uses the provider's data.

    Practical consequence

    The detail sheet is therefore often more coherent for notes and recent summaries. You will also notice that the texts in the details screens adapt to the language of the device (when available, otherwise the language used will be English).
