File naming with tmdb/imdb/thetvdb IDs

Is it necessary to use curly brackets { } for the IDs or can square ones [ ] be used interchangeably?

If not, is there a possibility of it being added?

I am seeing some wrong matches when using square brackets - not sure if that is to blame.

Example:

Batman Begins (2005) {imdb-tt0372784}

Using:

Batman Begins (2005) - [imdb-tt0372784] [tmdb-272]

That movie title is just an example, not a real mismatch.

thanks

Yes.

No.
Content between the first pair of square brackets is intentionally ignored by the Plex scanner.

Oh that solves the issues i’ve been having! Never knew about it being ignored, major blunder!

Thanks :smile:
