TheTVDB.ID

This agent is based on the original TheTVDB plugin. For the improvement of the code, thanks go to Reyter.

The main differences from the original version:

• Added the ability to use the ID from TV show, instead of the name or in addition to it.
• Added the ability to use ID from FileBot Xattr Metadata, for support, installation of this plugin is required.

Added support for the following third party plugins:

• Fanart.tv
• OpenSubtitles.org
• Plex Theme Music

Examples

Arrow tvdb-ID = 257655 It does not matter what the name of the file is, if tvdb-ID is specified in the filepath, then the information will be bound to the ID. Pattern: tvdb-00000

• \tvdb-257655\s01e01.mkv = Arrow (2012) - s01e01 - Pilot
• \we\like\what\TVDB-257655\we\do\s01e01.m2ts = Arrow (2012) - s01e01 - Pilot
• \s01e01 tvdb257655.mp4 = Arrow (2012) - s01e01 - Pilot
  Note: standard plex scanners ignore the BDMV folder, so if you store movies in the BDAV/BDMV folder structure, you will have to use a third-party scanner, for example FileBot Xattr Metadata (this scanner can only work with xattr metadata).
