The Movie Database (TMDb) is a community built movie and TV database. Every piece of data has been added by our amazing community dating back to 2008. TMDb's strong international focus and breadth of data is largely unmatched and something we're incredibly proud of. Put simply, we live and breathe community and that's precisely what makes us different.

Installing

This add-on is installed from the Add-on browser located in Kodi as follows:

  1. Settings
  2. Add-ons
  3. Install from repository
  4. Information providers (v16 and higher)
  5. TV information
  6. TMDb TV Shows
  7. Install

Introduction

TMDb TV Shows is the latest scraper developed by Team Kodi. It is written in Python and has proven to be more stable and reliable than the Regex based scrapers currently in use.

TMDb TV Shows scraper accesses the following sites to scrape your TV Shows, seasons and episodes to populate your library:


Search

If the scraper is unable to find the correct TV Show, you can perform a search using either the IMDB, TMDB or TVDB ID's. This may be a more convenient method than using a Parsing NFO file.

  • To search by TMDB enter the prefix tmdb/ followed by the ID. eg tmdb/90027
  • To search by TVDB enter the prefix tvdb/ followed by the ID. eg tvdb/365026
  • To search by IMDB ID enter the ttxxxxxx ID directly without any prefix. eg tt0489974

Note: This method can only be used for the TV Show. It cannot be used to find episodes.


Settings

Scraper settings can be adjusted in two locations, each location having a different result. When adjusting the settings be mindful of where:

Settings>Add-ons>Information Providers>Movies
Scrapers are installed with default settings. Adjusting settings in this location sets the new default settings for your scraper. From this point on any source you change to use this scraper will use the new default settings. Existing sources are not changed
If an existing source is already using this scraper, and you would like the new settings to take effect, change the source to use another scraper, save and answer no to updating the library. Then change the scraper back and the new default settings will be loaded for the source. Alternatively, use the next method.
Videos>Files>Source>Context Menu>Change Source>Settings
Changing settings at the source will affect that source only.


Note: Changing scraper settings does not change the metadata or artwork already in your library. Only items scraped after the setting changes will be affected.


General

Image 6- General Settings

Preferred language
Set which language of metadata to scrape
Preferred certification country
Country preference for Content Advisory Ratings (MPAA)- eg M, MA, PG
Include certification prefix
To display the appropriate Content Advisory Rating flags in your skin, the rating must be prefixed. Enable this setting and add the prefix in the next setting.
Prefix
Insert the required certification prefix here. If unsure, check with the skin author what the required prefix is for your chosen country.
Keep Original Title
Use the original (untranslated) title when downloading metadata for a foreign film.
For example the TV show Money Heist is the English translated title. The original title of the TV show is La casa de papel. If you prefer the English translated title (or whichever language you have set in the scraper settings), then disable the setting. If you prefer the original languge title then enable the setting.
Categorize fanart with text as landscape
Fanart is 16x9 images with no text
Landscape are fanart images with text
With this setting enabled, 16:9 images with text are scraped as a Landscape image type.
Include country code with studio
When disabled the studio will be saved as HBO
When enabled, the studio will be saved as HBO (US) with the country of origin appended to the studio name.
If the skin uses Studio Icons, enabling this setting may break the display of icons for many studios.

When enabled, will scrape links to online trailers. Only a link is scraped to the trailer. The trailer itself is not downloaded.
