Overview
Adds Plex-friendly names to search results on IMDB and TVDB. If you find it useful, please https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lorenzowood
This extension is handy if you use Plex media server and organise your files. Plex looks for metadata by examining the names of files and folders. It’s helpful if you give your folder the title of the film or TV show, with the year in parentheses, and the code from either IMDB or TVDB in braces. With this extension installed, if you search on IMDB (https://imdb.com) or TVDB (https://thetvdb.com), a Plex-friendly name will appear below the title of each movie or TV show result. This name has the title, with characters that don’t work in filenames substituted, followed by the year in parentheses (if available) followed by the relevant code in braces. You can copy the Plex-friendly name to the clipboard simply by clicking on it. If you find it useful, please buy me a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lorenzowood.
