Hello Rob,
I don't know if you were aware, but since Kodi Krypton, it's possible to save more than one ID for each movie/tv show/episode. Kodi saves (when you do an export) the NFO like this:
<id>tt2245084</id>
<uniqueid type="unknown" default="true">tt2245084</uniqueid>
There is a table named uniqueid that contains all known IDs. At the moment, Kodi saves only one ID per media, also without any specification of the ID source (type is always unknown). Would you consider changing the way NFOs are generated by Media Companion to include this functionality? Maybe something like this:
<id>121361</id>
<uniqueid type="imdb">tt0944947</uniqueid>
<uniqueid type="tmdb">1399</uniqueid>
<uniqueid type="tvdb" default="true">121361</uniqueid>
Where perhaps the default for movies is the IMDb ID, and for TV Shows and Episodes the default is the TVDB ID? I would guess that would provide the most compatibility.
Please let me know. Thanks.
Regards,
Bart
