How to get IMDB id for TV Shows

[KufuT]

Hi there

I've been searching over this forum and the internet for 2 days. Couldn't find any information. Sorry for double post if exist. It is very well working for movies but not for the series.

What I need is to rename TV Shows with IMDb id because it makes everything easier.

http://www.filebot.net/naming.html

This page suggests to use imdbid but it is not retrieved for series.

I tried this command

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:xattr --action test ballers/ --db xattr

And result has no IMDB id

Code: Select all

net.filebot.filename: Ballers.2015.S01E02.PROPER.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.mp4
	net.filebot.metadata: {"@type":"Episode","seriesName":"Ballers","season":1,"episode":2,"title":"Raise Up","absolute":2,"airdate":{"year":2015,"month":6,"day":28},"id":5232453,"seriesInfo":{"database":"TheTVDB","order":"Airdate","language":"en","id":281714,"name":"Ballers","aliasNames":["Ballers (2015)","Nagypályások","Игроки","בולרז"],"certification":"TV-MA","startDate":{"year":2015,"month":6,"day":21},"genres":["Comedy","Drama","Sport"],"network":"HBO","rating":8.2,"ratingCount":23,"runtime":30,"status":"Continuing"}}

I've also tried all sort of types with fn:amc using {imdbid} tag with no success.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --action test ballers/ --def "seriesFormat={imdbid}_{s00e00}_{vf}{'_'+group}"

Result

Code: Select all

Any suggestions?

1.
{imdbid} is only available for (most but not all) Movie objects, but not for Episode objects. I recommend using TheMovieDB ID for movies and TheTVDB ID for TV shows. Both of these can be accessed via the {id} binding.


2.
I recommend using the Format Editor to prototype formats. Prototyping custom formats on the command-line is not smart.
