Telegram-to-Media-Library Pipeline

Auto-identify, save, and file media from Telegram channels into your library

Problem

Following a bunch of Telegram movie and TV channels and bots means a flood of releases every day, of which you want only a few. The old flow is see it, copy the link, save to cloud storage, rename and move folders, then wait for scraping, and you have to watch for new episodes constantly.

Solution

Listen to chosen channels with your own Telegram account. AI identifies title, season/episode, and resolution, corrects names against TMDB, and pushes a card with poster and target folder. Nothing is saved until you confirm, then it files into your library with Emby naming rules.

Users

Heavy media hoarders running 115/Emby libraries who also live in Telegram channels

MVP

Listen to specified channels/bots; AI title/season detection with TMDB correction; confirmation cards with poster and folder; save on tap with normalized naming; Emby directory rules

Revenue

Open-source core plus hosted subscription ($5-10/mo), or tiers by channel count and transfers

Why now

Self-hosted media libraries and Telegram distribution are both thriving, and AI identification is accurate enough for one person to maintain the pipeline
