This service has been superseded by a self-contained client. The app now bundles all movie and genre data locally and no longer depends on a live backend. This repository is kept running only to serve a graceful deprecation message to users who still have the old client installed.

The client repository is here: Flixnet Client.

What's still running

/api/movies and /api/genres

Both endpoints return a single hardcoded stub record directing old-client users to update their app. No database required.

index.php

Public-facing landing page linking to the app download.

Refreshing the bundled movie data

If the movie catalog ever needs to be updated, the app's data/movies.json and data/genres.json can be regenerated from the database using the export script.

Requirements

MySQL/MariaDB with the flixnet database still populated
A secrets.php file in this directory (see secrets-example.php)

Steps

Copy secrets-example.php to secrets.php and fill in your database credentials
Deploy utils/export-app-data.php to the server (it requires database.php to be present alongside it)
From the enyo1-flixnet directory, run:

sh fetch-fallback-data.sh

This will overwrite enyo-app/data/movies.json (full export with genre associations) and enyo-app/data/genres.json.

Historical note

The original service stored movie metadata imported from TMDB and cinedantan, with movie files hosted on Archive.org. The database schema, import tooling, and filtered API endpoints have been removed. The last exported snapshot of the data is bundled with the client app.
