FR: TVDB/TheMovieDB ID support in search

[samip5]

It would be great if it was possible to search using eg tvdb/The Movie DB id.

Hey @samip5,

Thanks for reaching out, good idea. But, Requestrr already does this.
When you setup a movie or TV show client, it will setup default categories, this will be /request movie and /request tv, it will also setup /request movie-tmdb and /request tv-tvdb.
But this only happens if you have the default categories. If you create your own, you will only see your categories and not any ID versions.

However, there is a trick you can try, if you type in the id while specifying the db, you can use this to locate the media by its ID, eg: /request movie tmdb:293660 or /request tv tvdb:75897

This isn't a great work around but does help when you have custom categories, what I can do is look into changing the setting to allow for the option of having an ID category or allowing for an ID version of a category.
