...can a link be added to create an Advanced Pass for that show or movie?
I think I know what you mean. The series id appears in the browser url and I've used that to create a pass for it. Just don't have any current examples.
I didn't think to examine the browser URL, but that makes sense. Is that the same number that gets put in for the ID of the show in the Advanced Pass?
I don't recall the last time I wanted to do this, but for an example, if I do a search for the movie "Backdraft", the URL I get
"...MV000334070000?q=Backdraft&seriesName=Backdraft (1991)"
in the URL. Is that what I would use to create an Advanced Pass?
No.
MV000334070000 is the tms id
You would need the series id and I don't know how to get the series id from a tms id.
I get nothing when I search for backdraft.
The series id is in the url, like this from a search for burgers
http://{channels-dvr-ip:port}/admin/search/8127591?q=burgers&seriesName=Bob%27s%20Burgers
8127591 is the series id to put in the pass for Bob's Burgers.
So when you search for backdraft you get nothing, while I do the same search I get a cover shot, the full description that's in TMDB and a "No upcoming airings" caption. What might account for the difference?
When I do a search on burgers I get the same results you shared, but isn't that because it's already in the guide?
Your channels and guide data vs mine.
MV00033407 is the tms series id for the movie and MV00033407000 is the tms program id for the movie
Just don't know how to convert that to a series id for Channels DVR
If I use the Network Inspector for a fix match with Gracenote it comes up as
tmsId: MV000334070000
rootId: 13231
seriesId: NULL
So maybe there is no series id assigned to it?
I think they changed something recently for Movies.
I just searched for one in my guide and see this, so it's using MovieID instead of SeriesID and it won't let you set a pass for it.
