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

And again in v32: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,138694.0.html

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.

[TheMovieDb Series Id] already exists on MC33 and is working.
[TheMovieDB Movie ID] is not yet there. ZRatings can get it, but it would be nice to have it integrated.

[TheMovieDb Series Id] has been available for a long time. I use it all the time.

I'm requesting to add [IMDB Series ID] and [TheMovieDB Movie ID]

Right, reading fail.
I agree with that. It may not be easy to get the IMDB series ID without paying for the API service.

Good point @zybex! I had not thought of that! If that's the case, I understand not including it.

Can we get [TheMovieDB Movie ID] added?

I have added both the [TheMovieDB Movie ID] and [IMDb Series ID] field for the next build, and it'll be filled automatically when loading info from TheMovieDB.
