𝕏TVDb — home

The project

One catalog. One ID per title. Built by a community.

𝕏TVDb is the public face of the 𝕏TV ecosystem — a cross-referenced catalog of movies and series where every title gets one permanent, linkable home. Not a mirror of some other database. Not a streaming site. A card index for an entire community's library, growing around the clock.

The story

It started with a mess

𝕏TV began the way most good things on Telegram begin: a few people sharing what they love. It worked — then it grew. Suddenly there were bots for movies, bots for series, channels per provider, bundles in three qualities, and the same film living under four different names in four different places. Finding something meant knowing where to look. New members didn't.

The fix wasn't another channel. It was an idea borrowed from the great libraries: give every title exactly one card, one number, one place where everything about it comes together — no matter how many copies, qualities or seasons exist behind it. That card index became 𝕏TVDb.

The backbone

The 𝕏TV ID

Every title in the catalog carries a permanent 𝕏TV ID — X1042TV for a movie, XS1043TV for a series. IDs are issued once and never reused: assignments run through an atomic counter with a full audit trail, and when a catalogued title later gets real content, it keeps the ID it already had. A link to a title page today is a link to that title forever.

Around its ID, each entry cross-references the identifiers other major databases use for the same work — so one 𝕏TVDb page can stand in for all of them, and machines can resolve any external ID straight to ours through the public lookup API.

Around the clock

A catalog that never sleeps

𝕏TVDb is metadata-first by design. Background workers walk the world's popular, top-rated and trending titles day and night, cataloguing them with artwork, cast, keywords and cross-references — long before the community uploads anything. That's intentional: you can find, rate, save and track a title that isn't in the library yet, and the moment it arrives, everyone who saved it gets told.

Partial data is a feature, not a bug. Entries fill in over time through automatic enrichment and resyncs; nothing waits for a human to finish a form.

The library

Watching happens on Telegram

𝕏TVDb hosts no media, streams nothing, and stores no files — ever, by construction. The website is the map, not the vault. When a title is in the 𝕏TV library, its page shows exactly what exists — which seasons, which qualities, whether a season is still airing — and a single tap hands you over to the 𝕏TV bots on Telegram, where delivery, quests and the rest of the ecosystem live.

The people

A community layer with teeth

Members rate titles on a five-star scale, keep favorites and watchlists, track everything they watch with My𝕏TV — from "Plan to watch" to "Completed" — and report broken things. Reports aren't a black hole: they group by issue, surface on the title page once enough members agree, and reporters get told when the problem is fixed. The catalog stays honest because the people using it keep it honest.

Logging in takes one tap in Telegram. No passwords exist anywhere in the system — the 𝕏TV Account Manager bot confirms every login and guards every sensitive action with one-time security codes.

The economics

Premium is support, not a paywall

Everything essential on 𝕏TV is free and stays free. Premium exists for people who want to support the platform — it carries small perks, supporter tiers earned over a lifetime of membership and a few cosmetic flourishes, but it never gates the library, the catalog or the community features. We'd rather have a healthy community than a subscription business.

Looking ahead

Where this is going

The roadmap is public in spirit: a dedicated media host for artwork, first-class anime identifiers, richer people pages, a deeper public API. The principle behind all of it stays the same — one permanent card per title, everything cross-referenced, nothing locked in.

Artwork and metadata are assembled from public sources and community contributions, and remain the property of their respective owners.
