As the subject states for me when I do Episode Format it seems to be broken, but with Movie Format it seems to work just fine.
I get a "Binding "imdbid": undefined" when in Episode Format

{imdbid} is generally not well supported for TV Series type information, depending on your chosen database.


I recommend using {tmdbid} when tagging files and using TheMovieDB/TV as database since that guarantees {tmdbid} to work. You can use the {plex.id} format to add standard {tmdb-12335} markers to the Plex path.


{imdbid} may work with TVmaze. {imdbid} may have worked with TheTVDBv2 but is no longer supported with TheTVDBv4 due to server-side API changes.


Note that adding [tt1234567] markers to file names is strongly discouraged for TV Shows, since [tt1234567] markers typically indicate Movie files, and aren't that useful for identifying TV Shows, because IMDb IDs are only ever useful for looking up the TheTVDB ID or TheMovieDB/TV ID and then working with that, and so you might as well use one of those directly.


If you must have [tt1234567] markers, then you can use {series.externalIds} to retrieve available external IDs from your chosen database: ** the snippet above works with TheMovieDB/TV; different databases may provide different external IDs

Understood, thank you for the clear breakdown. Appreciate all your work on the tool!
