Could the ThemerrDB base URL be configurable, for example with a THEMERRDB_URL environment variable that defaults to https://app.lizardbyte.dev/ThemerrDB?

Right now it's hardcoded in a few places:

• src/themerr/themerr_db.py (pages.json and all_page_N.json)
• src/jellyfin/backend.py (the item JSON)
• src/themerr/deployment_status.py (deployment.json)

My use case: I run a small service in front of ThemerrDB that serves the official data plus a few themes of my own. The default would stay the same, so nothing changes for other users.

Probably not super easily because we show buttons to make it easy to contribute when an item is missing from ThemerrDB. If we point it to a different source, then I don't see how that would work.

[bientavu]

Correct, but with a default unchanged, nothing changes for anyone who doesn't set it. Maybe it could be an advanced, undocumented setting, so regular users never see it?

Cool if it's doable, otherwise I totally understand you don't want to implement that. Thanks for your work btw.

• Does your service overwrite the themes from ThemerrDB or just add other ones?
• Are they on YouTube?

[bientavu]

Nope, no override, it only adds themes for items that aren't in ThemerrDB yet. It doesn't change the existing ones. And yes, they're all youtube links, same format as ThemerrDB (youtube_theme_url)

Okay, so I think the issue is just that we're slow to approve. Unfortunately it takes a about an hour to go through every 20 theme requests, so you can see it takes a long time to get through the entire queue. Some people like to submit 100-200 at a time.
