+## Latest Session Updates (2025-01-12 Part 2) - Repository Architecture & TVDB Integration
+
+### Major Accomplishments - Repository Split ✅
+1. **✅ Repository Separation**: Split into focused repositories:
+   - **NFOGuard (main)**: Clean webhook Docker application 
+   - **NFOGuard-Emby-Plugin**: Separate plugin development repository
+   - **Rationale**: Different audiences, release cycles, and deployment methods
+
+2. **✅ Repository Cleanup**: NFOGuard webhook repo cleaned for public use:
+   - **Removed**: CI/development artifacts (gitea configs, test files)
+   - **Kept**: 21 essential files (core app, docs, utilities)
+   - **Docker**: Industry standard `docker-compose.example.yml`
+   - **Configuration**: Updated `.env.secrets.template` with TVDB_API_KEY
+
+### Critical Technical Improvement - TVDB Integration ✅
+3. **✅ Root Cause Fix**: Solved Emby NFO reading issues:
+   - **Problem**: Emby showing "PremiereDate: NULL" despite valid NFO files
+   - **Root Cause**: tvshow.nfo files only had IMDB IDs, but Emby's TVDB plugin expects numeric TVDB series IDs
+   - **Solution**: Added TVDB v4 API integration for IMDB→TVDB ID conversion
+
+4. **✅ TVDB Client Implementation**:
+   ```python
+   # New TVDBClient class in external_clients.py
+   def imdb_to_tvdb_series_id(self, imdb_id: str) -> Optional[str]:
+       url = f"{self.base_url}/search/remoteid?remoteId={imdb_id}&type=series"
+   ```
+
+5. **✅ Enhanced NFO Structure**: Updated tvshow.nfo creation:
+   ```xml
+   <!-- Before (IMDB only - caused Emby failures) -->
+   <uniqueid type="imdb" default="true">tt1234567</uniqueid>
+   
+   <!-- After (TVDB + IMDB - Emby compatible) -->
+   <uniqueid type="tvdb" default="true">12345</uniqueid>
+   <uniqueid type="imdb">tt1234567</uniqueid>
+   ```
+
+6. **✅ Docker Timezone Support**: Added configurable timezone via TZ environment variable
+   - Users can set `TZ=Europe/London` in docker-compose for local timestamps
+
+### Repository Structure Changes
+```
+# OLD - Monorepo
+NFOguard/
+├── NFOGuard.Emby.Plugin/ (plugin code)
+├── core/ (webhook code)  
+├── decompiled-TimeLord/ (mixed reference)
+└── releases/ (mixed artifacts)
+
+# NEW - Separated Repositories  
+NFOguard/ (webhook only - 21 files)
+├── core/, clients/ (webhook application)
+├── docker-compose.example.yml (public example)
+├── nfoguard.py, requirements.txt, Dockerfile
+└── documentation (focused on webhook)
+
+NFOGuard-Emby-Plugin/ (plugin only)
+├── NFOGuard.Emby.Plugin/ (C# source)
+├── EmbySDK/ (build dependencies)  
+├── decompiled-TimeLord/ (reference code)
+├── releases/ (plugin DLL versions)
+└── documentation (focused on plugin)
+```
+
+### Technical Impact
+- **Emby Compatibility**: TVDB IDs should resolve NFO reading issues
+- **User Experience**: Single docker-compose.example.yml for easy deployment  
+- **Developer Experience**: Separate repos allow independent development
+- **Public Readiness**: Clean webhook repo ready for open source distribution
+
+### Configuration Updates
+```bash
+# NEW - Added to .env.secrets.template
+TVDB_API_KEY=your_tvdb_api_key  # Free registration at thetvdb.com
+```
+
+### 🔄 TVDB Integration Reversion Guide (If Needed)
+
+**If TVDB integration causes issues, here's how to revert:**
+
+#### Files Modified for TVDB:
+1. **`clients/external_clients.py`**:
+   ```python
+   # REVERT: Remove TVDBClient class (lines ~200-280)
+   # REVERT: Remove from ExternalClientManager.__init__(): self.tvdb = TVDBClient()
+   # REVERT: Remove get_tvdb_series_id() method
+   ```
+
+2. **`core/nfo_manager.py`**:  
+   ```python
+   # REVERT: Change create_tvshow_nfo() back to single parameter:
+   def create_tvshow_nfo(self, series_dir: Path, imdb_id: str):  # Remove tvdb_id param
+   
+   # REVERT: tvshow.nfo content back to IMDB-only:
+   uniqueid_elements = [f'  <uniqueid type="imdb" default="true">{imdb_id}</uniqueid>']
+   ```
+
+3. **`nfoguard.py`** (3 locations):
+   ```python
+   # REVERT: Remove TVDB lookup calls, change back to:
+   self.nfo_manager.create_tvshow_nfo(series_path, imdb_id)  # Remove tvdb_id param
+   
+   # REVERT LOCATIONS:
+   # - TV processor method (~line 450)
+   # - Season processor method (~line 380) 
+   # - Targeted webhook processing (~line 520)
+   ```
+
+4. **`.env.secrets.template`**:
+   ```bash
+   # REVERT: Remove this line:
+   TVDB_API_KEY=your_tvdb_api_key
+   ```
+
+#### Quick Revert Commands:
+```bash
+# If you need to quickly revert TVDB integration:
+git log --oneline | grep -i tvdb    # Find TVDB commits
+git revert <commit_hash>             # Revert specific commits
+# OR
+git checkout <pre-tvdb-commit> -- clients/external_clients.py core/nfo_manager.py nfoguard.py .env.secrets.template
+```
+
+#### Why You Might Need to Revert:
+- **TVDB API issues**: Rate limiting, authentication problems
+- **NFO compatibility**: Some media servers prefer IMDB-only uniqueids  
+- **Performance**: TVDB lookups add API call overhead
+- **Dependency**: Removes external API dependency if not needed
+
+#### Testing Strategy:
+1. **Test with TVDB first**: Deploy and check if Emby reads NFO files properly
+2. **Monitor logs**: Look for "TVDB API key not configured" warnings
+3. **Check NFO output**: Verify both TVDB and IMDB uniqueid elements are created
+4. **Emby behavior**: Confirm PremiereDate is no longer NULL
+5. **If issues**: Use revert guide above
+
+**Current Status**: ⚠️ **UNTESTED - TVDB integration implemented but needs validation**
