Problem:
- Gray screens on movie details and downloads
- No error messages shown to debug issues
- API response structure not fully validated
Solution:
1. Enhanced Movie.fromJson() parsing:
- Added detailed logging for each parsing step
- Safe genre parsing: handles [{id: 18, name: Drama}]
- Safe date parsing with null checks
- Safe runtime parsing for both movies and TV shows
- Better media type detection (movie vs tv)
- Comprehensive error logging with stack traces
2. Added detailed API logging:
- getMovieById(): Log request URL, response status, body preview
- getTvShowById(): Log request URL, response status, body preview
- Log API response structure (keys, types, unwrapped data)
- Makes debugging much easier
3. Based on backend API structure:
Backend returns: {"success": true, "data": {...}}
Movie fields from TMDB:
- id (number)
- title or name (string)
- genres: [{"id": int, "name": string}]
- release_date or first_air_date (string)
- vote_average (number)
- runtime or episode_run_time (number/array)
- number_of_seasons, number_of_episodes (int, optional)
Logging examples:
- 'Parsing Movie from JSON: [id, title, genres, ...]'
- 'Parsed genres: [Drama, Thriller, Mystery]'
- 'Successfully parsed movie: Fight Club'
- 'Response status: 200'
- 'Movie data keys: [id, title, overview, ...]'
Changes:
- lib/data/models/movie.dart: Complete rewrite with safe parsing
- lib/data/api/neomovies_api_client.dart: Add detailed logging
Result:
✅ Safer JSON parsing with null checks
✅ Detailed error logging for debugging
✅ Handles all edge cases from API
✅ Easy to debug gray screen issues via logs
Next steps:
Test the app and check Flutter debug console for:
- API request URLs
- Response bodies
- Parsing errors (if any)
- Successful movie loading messages
1. Add Downloads screen to main navigation:
- Import DownloadsScreen in main_screen.dart
- Replace placeholder 'Downloads Page' with actual DownloadsScreen component
- Downloads tab now fully functional with torrent management
2. Fix authentication models for API compatibility:
- AuthResponse: Handle wrapped API response with 'data' field
- User model: Add 'verified' field, support both '_id' and 'id' fields
- Add toJson() method to User for serialization
- Fix parsing to match backend response format
3. Fix movie details screen (gray screen issue):
- Implement getExternalIds() in NeoMoviesApiClient
- Add IMDb ID fetching via /movies/{id}/external-ids endpoint
- Update api_client.dart to use new getExternalIds method
- Fix movie detail provider to properly load IMDb IDs
Changes:
- lib/presentation/screens/main_screen.dart: Add DownloadsScreen import and replace placeholder
- lib/data/models/auth_response.dart: Handle wrapped 'data' response
- lib/data/models/user.dart: Add verified field and toJson method
- lib/data/api/neomovies_api_client.dart: Add getExternalIds endpoint
- lib/data/api/api_client.dart: Implement getImdbId using external IDs
Result:
✅ Downloads tab works and shows torrent list
✅ Authentication properly parses API responses
✅ Movie detail screen loads IMDb IDs correctly
✅ All API models match backend format
