Identifiers - mdhiggins/PlexAutoSkip GitHub Wiki

RatingKeys

ratingKeys are unique to your Plex library and non-transferrable and can occasionally change if a library is deleted

GUIDs

GUIDs are more generalizable and persistent, they use the IMDB/TMDB/TVDB and season/episode number and are ultimately resolved by the software to your ratingKey. This is a semi-custom solution created for PlexAutoSkip

The format is as follows

format://id.season.episode

Example for the entire Bob's Burgers series

tmdb://32726

Bob's Burgers Season 4

tmdb://32726.4

Bob's Burgers Season 4 Episode 21

tmdb://32726.4.21

Automated Conversion

If you already have a custom.json file defined and want to convert between ratingKeys and GUIDs you can use the following command line parameters on main.py

-g will convert everything to GUIDs
-rk will convert everything to ratingKeys

python main.py -g
