text descriptions of movies-difference
posted by jlj1950228STAFFMOD on April 16, 2024 at 3:44 PM
I have two programs, aq Windows app and a powershell script, both of which retrieve TMDB data. The biggest difference is the script returns an 'Overview', which is longer than those below. The app returns 'Description', Summary', and 'Synopsis', which are usually the same, but not always. Plex media server ( or Jellyfin?) includes 'Tagline.'
My questions: Are any of these valid TMDB tags? Which tags/attributes involve textual descriptions of a movie?

On TMDB, we have the 2 fields "Overview" and "Taglines". We don't have fields called "Description", "Summary" and "Synopsys".
On the other side, IMDB have "Plot" (which may correspond to your "Description"), "Summary" qnd "Synopsys". So, it seems that your application use IMDB for these data.
