[Feature]: TMDB proxying

[asakura42]

What feature do you want to add?

It's not the sudo-flix issue, but maybe you can do anything.

It seems TMDB blocks some countries/zones/dunno with some DNS-based thing. So if my friend from that country uses Cloudflare DNS server or provider's default DNS server TMDB block these requests. But if he uses Quad9 DNS all works fine.

Can you add some workaround for TMDB proxying through, for example, worker? Or anything else.

Why do you want to have this feature?

To make sudo-flix work in all countries.

Any other details to share?

we already fallback to tmdb.org when themoviedb.org is blocked
if that's blocked as well you can setup a tmdb proxy and just change the base here
https://github.com/sussy-code/smov/blob/main/src/backend/metadata/tmdb.ts#L147
so it will fallback to using the proxy if themoviedb.org is blocked

I propose to create some textbox in settings to paste this mirror. Because hosting own instance became painful.

Sounds good
