MediaInfo - PARADOX - 20-08-2026

MediaInfo


Display movie, TV series, and drama details using TMDB and OMDb APIs. Adds a media button to the editor with search functionality and rich info cards.

MediaInfo adds rich movie and TV series cards to your MyBB forum. Users simply wrap an IMDb ID, a TMDB ID, or a direct link (e.g.
Code:
[media]tt1160419[/media]
or
Code:
[media]https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/438631[/media]
in the new [media] BBCode, and the plugin automatically fetches details from the TMDB and OMDb APIs—including poster, plot, year, genres, runtime, director, cast, and ratings from IMDb, TMDB, and Rotten Tomatoes. All information is rendered in a stylish card that displays directly within posts. No manual data entry is required—the forum handles everything automatically.

To make posting even easier, MediaInfo adds a dedicated Media button to the SCEditor toolbar. Clicking it opens a search interface where users can type a movie or TV show name or paste an ID/URL, select a result, and instantly insert a ready-to-use [media] tag. Search results are intelligently linked to the correct title, while fetched movie and TV data is cached in the database for 24 hours. This means the same title displayed across multiple threads requires only one API request, while subsequent page loads remain fast.
