🔑 Getting a TMDB API Key

To use TMDB's API, you'll need a free API key.

👉 Follow the official guide here:
TMDB API Getting Started

Once you have your key, you’ll use it in the configuration step.

---

📦 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/DevEvil99/DevEvil-TV.git
   cd DevEvil-TV

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

---

⚙️ Configuration

1. Rename the .env.example file to .env:

   mv .env.example .env

2. Fill in your API key: Open .env and set your TMDB API key:

   REACT_APP_TMDB_API_KEY=your_tmdb_api_key_here

---

🎨 Customizing Styles and Pages

By default, styles are defined using CSS :root selectors in each style file. This approach was required in an earlier version, and although not ideal, it's currently necessary to manually update each one.

To update colors and themes:

1. Edit every CSS file and modify the :root variables.
2. Also update colors in:

   src/components/Others/SideButtons.jsx

⚠️ Please don’t remove or modify core functionality — you're free to customize layout, styles, and content, but try to preserve the app’s essential logic.

---

🔞 Enabling Adult & NSFW Content

If you want to allow adult and NSFW movies or TV shows to be displayed:

1. Open the following file:

   src/services/tmdbService.jsx

2. Replace all instances of:

   include_adult=false

   with:

   include_adult=true

⚠️ Note: This enables the listing of adult content. However, many embedded streaming players do not support NSFW content, so availability for streaming is not guaranteed.
