I initially requested this in v27: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126955.msg881362.html#msg881362

And again in v31: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,136447.msg945234.html#msg945234

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 or looking up by IMDB ID
•   [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.

Can this be implemented in v32?

Unfamiliar with how MC tries to do this internally.
Episodes should be referenced by the Episode's IMDB id, and a parentTitleId which is the series / parent title entity's IMDb id. Both are pretty important IMO. Is this actually not implemented?
One problem is TMDB's metadata is a spotty mess, and they don't have particularly good IMDB id completion for episodes.
