Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
517

We now support IMDB and TMDB IDs in file names. The convention is as follows;

  • ID must be within { } (we also support ( ) or [ ] )
  • Start with imdb or tmdb and use : or - as a separator between source and ID.
  • Can then be placed anywhere in the filepath.

While the above convention will be our offically documented option, we also support the IMDb ID tt0903624 standalone in the filename if you prefer.

Examples;

  • Braces with dash seperator = {imdb-tt0903624} or {tmdb-49051}
  • Braces with colon seperator = {imdb:tt0903624} or {tmdb:49051}

You can then have this anywhere in the file path.

  • /Volumes/Movies/{imdb:tt0903624}.mkv
  • /Volumes/Movies/The Hobbit 1 (2012)/{imdb:tt0903624}.mkv
  • /Volumes/Movies/The Hobbit 1 (2012)/The Hobbit 1 (2012) {tmdb-49051}.mkv
  • /Volumes/Movies/The Hobbit (2012) tt0903624.mkv
