[Feature]: add VNDB metadata provider

Author: mayan50Created Sep 16, 2026Updated Sep 16, 2026

I would like to contribute VNDB as a metadata provider for visual novels.

The implementation includes:

  • VNDB Kana API integration
  • Manual VNDB ID assignment
  • Metadata, aliases, tags, developers, release dates, covers and screenshots
  • Configurable metadata and artwork priority
  • Scan scope controls to respect VNDB rate limits
  • Tests and PostgreSQL migration coverage

The feature is intentionally independent from custom folder layouts and platform fallback rules. Would maintainers be open to reviewing a PR for this?

AI assistance disclosure: this proposal and the implementation were developed with substantial assistance from Codex. The code, tests, migration, and documentation will be reviewed and verified before submission.
