plex movie format missing tmdb id in file name

[kmorgan32]

Running Version 5.2.0 (10714) for macOS desktop.

The Plex naming guidelines call for the tmdb id to be present both in the enclosing directory name as well as the file name but I can't find the appropriate format. The format "{drive}/media/{plex.year.id}" provides the id in the directory name but not the file name:

Is there a way for me to get the id in both the directory and the filename?

1 ID marker in the file path is fine. Adding it twice is unnecessary and has no effect.



That said, you can use the {plex} binding with the ** operator to splice in extra information in both movie / series folder name and file name as you see fit:

Shell: Select all

{ plex ** " {tmdb-$id}" }

If you want to embed an image, you need to specify the image file itself and not a webpage that happens to contain one or more images. See How can I share screenshots on the internet? for details.
