Question: Why do you want to use both IDs?
My understanding of the new scanner:
- Plex gathers movie/show information from many sources, combines it together, and hosts it on a plex.tv system.
- When a movie is added to Plex Media Server, it queries the plex.tv host, which returns the requested metadata.
- Adding the IMDB or TMDB ID helps Plex match the correct movie. However, it still returns the metadata combined from many sources. It does not tell Plex “give me the info from imdb.com” or “give me the info from themoviedb.org.”
Look at the first paragraph of “New Plex Media Server Scanner” announcement thread: “ …to bring together multiple metadata sources such as IMDb, TheMovieDb, Rotten Tomatoes,… ”
Also, look at the XML information for a movie. You’ll see references to information from multiple sources - imdb, tmdb, tvdb, metadata-static.plex.tv, etc.
