        <string name="tvdb_api_key">0123456789ABCDEF</string>
        <string name="tmdb_api_key">0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef</string>
        <string name="trakt_api_key">0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef</string>
        <string name="trakt_api_secret">0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef</string>
