We discussed adding some additional ID fields to MC back in MC v27 here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126955.msg881362.html#msg881362

I'd like to request this again in v31 with a couple of updates.

Can the following fields be added to MC and have the TMDB lookup populate them:
•   [TheMovieDB Movie ID] – to be able to link directly to the TMDB movie rather than doing a text search
•   [IMDB Series ID] – as a fallback if the “[IMDb ID] for episodes” is empty rather than doing a text search. “[IMDb ID] for episodes” is quite often empty.

This would make the ability to link directly to info on these sites much better.

I found a workaround for using a smart link to look up movies in TMDB:

Code: [Select]

<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">TMDB Movies</Item>
<Item Name="Action">1</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">https:////www.themoviedb.org//</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">https:////www.themoviedb.org//redirect?external_source=imdb_id&amp;external_id=[IMDb ID]</Item>
<Item Name="Type">0</Item>
<Item Name="Program Path"/>
<Item Name="Program Parameters">"[Filename]"</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Sub Type]=[Movie]</Item>
</Link>

I still think it would be best to use the precise TMDB movie ID instead of the IMDB ID, but the work around works for now.

The IMDB Series ID would still be quite useful to be able to look up the TV show at the series level.
