A live smoke against the real TMDB API showed two crew problems the mocked
tests missed: (1) a TV show's creator/showrunner lives in the payload's
top-level `created_by`, not the crew list, so it was dropped entirely; and
(2) TMDB's crew order is arbitrary — a TV show's per-episode Directors (dozens)
flooded the key-crew list and buried the show-level roles.
Fix: split the accepted crew jobs by media type — movies key on
Director/Writer/…; TV keys on Creator (from created_by) + the show-level
Executive Producer/Writer/Producer/Composer, deliberately excluding the
per-episode Director/Editor/DP noise. Stored crew is sorted by display
priority and capped, so the lead roles come first.
Verified live: Breaking Bad -> [Gilligan (Creator), Johnson (EP), … , Writer];
The Godfather -> [Coppola (Director), Puzo (Screenplay), …]. test_plex_tmdb
