using the syntax tvbdid

Post by iKUd »

When I'm using

Shell: Select all

{tvdb-{tvdbid}}
it stays blank because FB thinks there is a sytax which he doesnt know (tvdb). But if only using

Shell: Select all

{tvdbid}
it makes [] around the number and i'd like to have {} and a text in front.
It should look ike this

Shell: Select all

{tvdb-123456}
And yes I could take plex.id but then he fetches TMDB but I'd liek to have TVDB :roll:
Any suggestions?

:idea: If you want the TheTVDB ID, then I strongly recommend using TheTVDB to match and name your files. If you use TheTVDB episode information then {plex.id} will give you {tvdb-12345} markers.



:!: TMDB ID and TVDB ID are not fundamentally interchangeable, even though that is the case for 99.99% of shows. There are TMDB entries without corresponding TVDB ID. There are TMDB entries with multiple corresponding TVDB IDs. And vice versa.
