shudder 1 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Would be great if one could use the imdb ID of a show/movie as a search parameter. Let me know if any further information are required. Edited January 27, 2015 by shudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shudder 1 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sorry but I can't seem to see how it is working at the moment. I was expecting that after entering an IMDB id in the search field, I get presented with the according movie (or any similar API functionality).

Maleficarum 68 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 You mean you would like to search your existing media by its IMDB ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think they mean in the Search function in the web UI. Searching by IMDB id doesn't produce results. If that's it, explain the use case. I just can't imagine sitting at home thinking, "Gosh, I really want to see Arnold fight an alien killing machine. Let's watch tt0093773!"

shudder 1 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 You mean you would like to search your existing media by its IMDB ID? That's exactly what I meant. No need for a screenshot I guess. The use case might be quite specific to my needs, but I have some kind of self-developed CouchPotato that keeps track of my movie database and updates it when new there are new releases accordingly. However, maintaining the movie database on my own is quite hard especially since MBS is doing it already. So in the end the scenario is that a new release triggers my script, the script asks MBS if there is a movie with a specific imdb in the database already and will either skip it or replace with a better quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
