Discover is Plembfin’s external-media browsing page. It brings current TMDB feeds into the same poster-card language as the local libraries, so you can explore without first adding a title to a media server.

Discovery rails

The default Movies & TV view can show:

  • Trending movies;
  • Trending TV shows;
  • Now playing movies; and
  • Airing today TV shows.

The exact titles change as TMDB updates its feeds. The page reports the number of results in each rail and uses horizontal scrolling for the poster-card rows.

Discover is a feed, not a second local library. A title can appear here before Plembfin has recorded a watch or before it exists on one of your connected media servers.

Type and genre filters

Use Type to switch between:

  • Movies & TV for the combined feed;
  • Movies for movie rails and movie genres; and
  • TV shows for TV rails and TV genres.

The Genre selector changes with the chosen type. Select All genres to return to the default feeds, or choose a genre to request filtered movie or TV rails. Refresh forces a new feed request when you want to recheck the current snapshot.

Discover uses a short-lived local cache so a previously loaded feed can paint quickly while the server revalidates it. A current TMDB API key is required. If the key is missing or TMDB is temporarily unavailable, the page presents an actionable Settings → Metadata link or a retry button instead of silently showing stale empty rails.

Open and save a title

Plembfin Discover cards used to open a title and access personal actions
Open a Discover title, then save, rate, or list it from the standard detail context.

Select a card poster or title to open the standard movie or TV detail page. Cards also keep the common More options action available.

From a Discover card or detail page you can:

  • add a movie or show to Watchlist;
  • choose a personal Rating from 1 to 10; and
  • add the title to a Custom List.

Those actions are private local choices. They do not create a watched event, alter the canonical provider match, or imply that a title is available in one of your libraries. Use the detail page’s Available on and Watch Now information to decide where a title can actually be played.

For the pages that hold these choices, see Use the dedicated Watchlist, Ratings, and Custom Lists pages for the private workflows.
