Option to use Tmdb instead of Imdb.

[antrrax]

Option to use Tmdb instead of Imdb.
Because tmdb is an open source database that is updated by the users themselves.

https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/introduction

https://pypi.org/project/tmdbsimple/

https://pypi.org/project/tmdbv3api/

---

note:
Also provided in the code to make requests in the system language.
Because currently the synopsis of the films are shown on the screen in English only (Imdb whth hypnotix source code)

[thorian93]

I want to emphasize that as an open source project I think it would be great to also support open knowledge platforms and make people aware of such solutions.
I myself ditched IMDB as soon as I learned that it is owned by Amazon. Not meaning to flame here, but for me that was a show stopper. Projecting that to other people this might be a concern for the success of this tool, be it a rather small one.

[kodi-rc]

And the result of the tmdbsimple library can be provided in other languages, not only in english.

import tmdbsimple as tmdb
tmdb.API_KEY = 'myKey*******'
tmdb_lang = 'pt-BR' #my language

#channel.title = 'The Avengers'
channel.title = 'Os Vingadores'


search = tmdb.Search()
r_films = search.movie(query=channel.title, language=tmdb_lang)


if len(r_films['results']) > 1:
	lstname = []
	for i in range(len(r_films['results'])):
		lstname.append(r_films['results'][i]['title'])

	#display a list of all results, for users to choose the best option
	print(str(lstname))
	ret = ?? #integer : user choice
else:
	ret = 0

if ret > -1
	film_id = r_films['results'][ret]['id']
	r_movie_info = tmdb.Movies(film_id).info(language=tmdb_lang)
	overview = r_movie_info['overview']

	credits_movie = tmdb.Movies(film_id).credits(language=tmdb_lang)

	r_trailer = tmdb.Movies(film_id).videos(language=tmdb_lang)
	if len(r_trailer['results']) > 0:
		for tag in r_trailer['results']:
			name = tmdb_lang + ' - ' + tag['name']
			trailer_name.append(name)
			trailer_key.append(tag['key'])
	
	r_trailer_en = tmdb.Movies(texto).videos()
	if len(r_trailer_en['results']) > 0:
		for tag in r_trailer_en['results']:
			trailer_name.append(tag['name'])
			trailer_key.append(tag['key'])

else:
	print('Movie not registered in database!')

When there is no result for my language, I make another query without specifying a language to make the query in English:

if overview == '' or overview == 'null' or overview == '0':
	r_movie_info_en = tmdb.Movies(film_id).info()
	overview = r_movie_info_en['overview']

[kodi-rc]

An additional option besides the automatic search, would also be to create a tag with the id of the movie / series on TMDB.
ex: tvg-tmdb = "299534"
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/299534-avengers-endgame?language=pt-BR

#EXTINF:0 tvg-name="Vingadores: Ultimato - [2019] [1080p]" tvg-logo="https://****.jpg" tvg-tmdb="299534" group-title="VOD Dublado-Acao",Vingadores: Ultimato
https://*****

With the function below I can get url of the image, synopsis of the movie and link to the movie trailer:
I considered that the link of the trailers inserted in TMDB are on youtube. It can be changed in the code to see which host of the trailer, as TMDB informs the host in the videos method.

The best strategy would be to add a tvg-tmdbid tag to the m3u file

if tvg-tmdbid has any value with only numeric characters
search for this id

otherwise {tvg-tmdbid = ''}, search for the name of the 'movie or series' to find the TMDB ID and then search the other values with that TMDB ID

if channel.tmdbid != '':
    serie_detail(channel.tmdbid)

else:
    myImgpath = ''
    overview = ''
    trailer_lang = ''
    trailer = ''

    #series
    #r_tv = search.tv(query=channel.title, language=tmdb_idioma)
    #movies
    r_tv = search.movie(query=channel.title, language=tmdb_idioma)

    if len(r_tv['results']) > 0:
        tmdbid = r_tv['results'][0]['id']
        serie_detail(channel.tmdbid)

Of course, this is just a demonstrative example, but it could change the functions {movie_detail and serie_detail} to instead of printing the value in the terminal, return these values with a list to be manipulated in the main program code.

Note: In this case, the search takes the first result from the TMDB list. This can cause problems, it can pass information from another film or series.
That is why normally in kodi addon when the search has more than one result I usually display a list with the options of series / film; from the first page of TMBD, for the user to choose the most suitable one.
