💡 Feature Description
Create a TV & Movie Recommendation Bot integration for new Discord, allowing users to post titles or IMDb links in a dedicated channel (e.g. #watch-recommendations) and receive enriched details in return.
The bot would automatically fetch and post supplemental data such as TMDb/TVDb/Trakt links, ratings, summaries, and poster art to keep users engaged and informed.
📈 Motivation and Context
A few Discord servers already use bots like this for keeping the community active through shared viewing suggestions.
This addition to QBX would enhance QB’s ecosystem by:
Promoting engagement
Helping users discover new content
Centralizing relevant info (IMDb, TMDb, TVDb, Trakt, etc.)
Users don’t need to Google/search multiple platforms
🛠️ Suggested Implementation (if known)
Monitor messages in a specific channel like #watch-recommendations
On detection of a valid IMDb link or plain title, fetch enriched content:
Title
Year
Summary
Poster art or banner
IMDb rating
TMDb/TVDb/Trakt links
Use APIs:
IMDb scraping or OMDb API (for rating/basic info)
TMDb API (for rich media, poster, genres, etc.)
Trakt API (for watch stats/trending tags)
Example:
🎬 Better Call Saul (2015–2022)
- ⭐ IMDb: 8.9
- 📊 TMDb: 86%
- 📈 Trakt: Trending Rank #
- 📝 A spin-off prequel of Breaking Bad, following the journey of Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman.
🔗 IMDb | TMDb | Trakt
Optional:
Allow users to tag genres or moods (e.g. !rec dark comedy)
Support slash commands for searching (/rec search Oppenheimer)
🖼️ Visuals or References (optional)
Existing bots in servers like:
film-recs, stream-suggestions, tv-movie-bot
🔗 Related Issues or Discussions
Discussions around stream suggestions in Discord
🧩 Additional Notes
Cache results to avoid API spam
Consider NSFW/age gating logic if auto-embedding content
Might evolve into a “trending picks” digest sent weekly to a channel?
