[OzzModz] TMDb TV Thread Starter for XenForo

basically what it does is take the information from a website called TMDB and adds it automatically into posts for you. Titles, posters, trailers, cast, you name it it'll be there. I think it'll be easier.

We have a similar widget on a blu ray forum I am part of; it's very useful.

I can certainly look into this. My only hesitation is people tend to not like automated threads. When I actually first bought WS the first thing that was asked of me was to kill an automated bot that posted threads and funnily enough when I then purchased the WWEF forum the first thing they also asked me over there was to get rid of an automated bot who posted news threads.

If I wind up installing this we could maybe give it a try just to see how it turns out. There’s a lot of movie threads on sites that those pull from so we might wind up with like hundreds of movie threads.

Yeah if we can somehow manage what it pulls that would be better. I will say no matter what it's better than random wrestling news being bot posted

The sites ive been on that use them, they arent automated. You essentially post the TMDB link into the thread title, or the slot it gives you, and it posts all the info in the thread. You're still posting the thread yourself.

I wouldn't mind giving this a run and seeing how it flows.
