🔔 Comprehensive Notification Integration - Implementation Summary

✅ What Was Implemented

I've successfully integrated notifications with your library and Trakt system, adding automatic background notifications for all saved shows. Here's what's now working:

---

🚀 1. Library Auto-Integration

Automatic Notification Setup

• When adding series to library: Notifications are automatically scheduled for upcoming episodes
• When removing series from library: All related notifications are automatically cancelled
• Real-time sync: Changes to library immediately trigger notification updates

Implementation Details:

// In catalogService.ts - Auto-setup when adding to library
public async addToLibrary(content: StreamingContent): Promise<void> {
  // ... existing code ...
  
  // Auto-setup notifications for series when added to library
  if (content.type === 'series') {
    await notificationService.updateNotificationsForSeries(content.id);
  }
}

🎬 2. Trakt Integration

Comprehensive Trakt Support

• Trakt Watchlist: Automatically syncs notifications for shows in your Trakt watchlist
• Trakt Collection: Syncs notifications for shows in your Trakt collection
• Background Sync: Periodically checks Trakt for new shows and updates notifications
• Authentication Handling: Automatically detects when Trakt is connected/disconnected

What Gets Synced:

• All series from your Trakt watchlist
• All series from your Trakt collection
• Automatic deduplication with local library
• IMDB ID mapping for accurate show identification

⏰ 3. Background Notifications

Automatic Background Processing

• 6-hour sync cycle: Automatically syncs all notifications every 6 hours
• App foreground sync: Syncs when app comes to foreground
• Library change sync: Immediate sync when library changes
• Trakt change detection: Syncs when Trakt data changes

Smart Episode Detection:

• 4-week window: Finds episodes airing in the next 4 weeks
• Multiple data sources: Uses Stremio first, falls back to TMDB
• Duplicate prevention: Won't schedule same episode twice
• Automatic cleanup: Removes old/expired notifications

---

📱 4. Enhanced Settings Screen

New Features Added:

• Notification Stats Display: Shows upcoming, this week, and total notifications
• Manual Sync Button: "Sync Library & Trakt" button for immediate sync
• Real-time Stats: Stats update automatically after sync
• Visual Feedback: Loading states and success messages

Stats Dashboard:

📅 Upcoming: 12    📆 This Week: 3    🔔 Total: 15

🔧 5. Technical Implementation

Enhanced NotificationService Features:

Library Integration:

private setupLibraryIntegration(): void {
  // Subscribe to library updates from catalog service
  this.librarySubscription = catalogService.subscribeToLibraryUpdates(async (libraryItems) => {
    await this.syncNotificationsForLibrary(libraryItems);
  });
}

Trakt Integration:

private async syncTraktNotifications(): Promise<void> {
  // Get Trakt watchlist and collection shows
  const [watchlistShows, collectionShows] = await Promise.all([
    traktService.getWatchlistShows(),
    traktService.getCollectionShows()
  ]);
  // Sync notifications for each show
}

Background Sync:

private setupBackgroundSync(): void {
  // Sync notifications every 6 hours
  this.backgroundSyncInterval = setInterval(async () => {
    await this.performBackgroundSync();
  }, 6 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
}

📊 6. Data Sources & Fallbacks

Multi-Source Episode Detection:

1. Primary: Stremio addon metadata
2. Fallback: TMDB API for episode air dates
3. Smart Mapping: Handles both IMDB IDs and TMDB IDs
4. Season Detection: Checks current and upcoming seasons

Notification Content:

Title: "New Episode: Breaking Bad"
Body: "S5:E14 - Ozymandias is airing soon!"
Data: { seriesId: "tt0903747", episodeId: "..." }

---

🎯 7. User Experience Improvements

Seamless Integration:

• Zero manual setup: Works automatically when you add shows
• Cross-platform sync: Trakt integration keeps notifications in sync across devices
• Smart timing: Respects user's preferred notification timing (1h, 6h, 12h, 24h)
• Battery optimized: Efficient background processing

Visual Feedback:

• Stats dashboard: See exactly how many notifications are scheduled
• Sync status: Clear feedback when syncing completes
• Error handling: Graceful handling of API failures
