Skip to content Where posters, plots, cast and ratings come from
Your playlist first, then enrichment. What each plan fills in, and how to use your own free TMDB key.
A raw IPTV catalog is often a list of filenames. mtivi fills in the missing parts so the library looks like a library.
The order things are filled
- What your playlist supplied
Always wins. If your service sent a poster and a plot, that is what you see.
- Your own TMDB key, if you added one
Free to get, and unlimited for personal use.
- mtivi’s enrichment
Included on Trial, Pro and Max. Fills only the fields that are still empty.
Use your own TMDB key
- Create a free account at themoviedb.org
Open their Settings, then API, and copy the key.
- Settings, then Add-ons, then TMDB
Paste the key and save. The app validates it and says whether it took.
- Let it work through the library
Background enrichment runs while the device is charging and connected, and the screen shows how many titles are done.
Lifetime does not include mtivi’s enrichment. That is one of the running costs left out to keep it a one-time price. Your own free TMDB key works on every plan, including Lifetime and Free.
Ratings
Detail pages show IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and TMDB side by side when they are known, so you are not judging a film on one number.
Trailers
Trailers play inside the app on the detail page, and Teasers is a full-screen swipeable feed of them.
