Info about after the credits scenes

Trakt Feature Requests
1

I would very much like to see information about after the credits scenes (stingers) for movies. Perhaps as a separate section with a hidden description of the scene(s) and whether they are during and/or after the credits.

All we have currently is a link in the “videos” section of the website. We use the TMDB tags to know there is a stinger.

I don’t mean to hijack a thread, but I might have something related. I didn’t even know if there was a way to check for after credit scenes or what they were called!

When I go to the movies, I have my phone start a Movie Time focus that pulls up the iOS Trakt app so I can check in. Maybe it might be nice to have the app display a notification for “Stay after the credits for an additional scene!” when the TMDB stinger tag exists?

Thank you! I never knew that what it was for!

I would always click it and it would not load any video. Seeing as it is under the Video section perhaps something a bit more obvious with the naming would help. Or perhaps next to genres like so…

Stinger

Instead of yes/no it could say during/after credits or none.

I don’t know if they offer an API that could be used to integrate it but I have been looking to https://aftercredits.com/ every time I finish a movie to see if I need to wait around. I think if we could somehow use this as an database for a feature on Trakt, that would be very useful!

Any idea if TMDB has good coverage using the tag I mentioned? We already have that in place, and yeah we’d need an API to use another service.

There’s been a ticket added to the backlog in 2019 to integrate an “official” way for tracking stingers on TMDB, but looks like it hasn’t moved since: Trello

@justin, I think the idea of this topic is really good tho. Any indicator of a stinger during & after credits would be very helpful within Trakt. Maybe a way to team up with the guys from AfterCredits.com?

It unfortunately does not look as if there is an API for aftercredits.com, I also took a look at mediastinger.com and it does not appear to have an API either.

The coverage on tmdb is pretty good I’d say.

maybe you could link to mediastinger instead of the video for people who what a description of the scene (because let’s be real when it’s in cinemas there won’t be videos and if you’re watching from your computer you can easily forward/scrub it and/or look at the preview image of the timestamp thing.).

Maybe add a link to mediastinger to the menu like to tmdb and tvdb. But only if the tag is there on tmdb. Then users can click for info. But then we’d lose the info about whether it’s after or during.

Or perhaps leave the video.
