Contributions summary:Björn primarily contributed to the implementation of watch provider data within the TMDbLib library. This involved creating and modifying C# models to represent watch provider information, including providers by region and provider-specific details. They added new methods to the client to retrieve watch provider data for movies and TV shows, and they included basic tests for these new functionalities. The user also refactored models into a "General" directory and updated tests to accommodate the changes.
