Attention talk.png Need help with this add-on? See here.

themoviedb.org is a free and open movie database. It's completely user driven by people like you. TMDb is currently used by millions of people every month and with their powerful API, it is also used by many popular media centers like Kodi to retrieve Movie Metadata, Posters and Fanart to enrich the user's experience.

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. The Movie Database
  7. Install


Stop hand.png This scraper is broken. It has been deprecated for v19 and later. Please switch to Add-on:TMDb_TV_Shows for TV Shows and Add-on:The_Movie_Database_Python for movies.
Unfortunately there is no replacement scraper for v18 and earlier, so we are forced to leave this scraper in the repository.
If you are using an older version of Kodi, you should update to the latest version and use the newer Python scrapers.


Introduction

TheMovieDB scraper consists of two scapers as follows-

  • metadata.themoviedb.org- Used for scraping Movie metadata and artwork
  • metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org- Used for scraping TV Show metadata and artwork from TheMovieDB database
See: http://themoviedb.org


When adjusting scraper settings you must make the adjustments on the Source using Change Content from the Context Menu when highlighting the Source. Do not make changes through the Add-ons menu option. This only sets default options and will not change existing settings attached to Sources.


TMDB - For Movies

metadata.themoviedb.org is used to download metadata and artwork for Movies. The following explains available scraper settings

For example the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) is the English translated title of the movie. The Original Name of the movie is 卧虎藏龙. If you prefer the English translated title, then disable the setting. If you prefer the original Chinese title then enable the setting.
