Movies

Each metadata definition is defined by the mapping name which can link to a movie in multiple ways.

• Mapping name must match the movie name in Plex exactly unless an alt_title is specified.

• Mapping name must match the TMDb ID or IMDb ID mapped to the movie.

Note: to search for a movie titled with a number surround the number in quotes like in the example below.

metadata:
  Star Wars:    # Matches via the Name "Star Wars"
    edits...
  299534:       # Matches via TMDb ID: 299534
    edits...
  tt4154756:    # Matches via IMDb ID: tt4154756
    edits...
  "9":          # Matches via the Name "9" 
    edits...
