TMDBCockpit shows information from The Movie Database (TMDB) on your Enigma2 receiver: movies, series and people, with cover, backdrop, cast, crew, ratings and trailers. You can open it from the plugin menu, from a movie list or from the programme guide, and you can save a description, cover and backdrop next to a recording.

Other plugins can use it to look up TMDB data without opening any of its screens.
