# Media Provider Identifiers
To improve the accuracy of media identification, you can manually specify a media provider identifier for each movie or show. Each media provider uses a unique identifier for its content, and adding these identifiers greatly improves media identification. Identifiers can be specified in your movie/show file or folder name. For example:
```txt
Movies
├── Best_Movie_Ever (1994) [tmdbid-680]
│ ├── Best_Movie_Ever (1994) [tmdbid-680].mp4
└── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262]
└── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262].mp4
Shows
└── Series Name (2018) [tvdbid-79168]
├── Season 01
| ├── Series Name B S01E01.mkv
| └── Series Name B S01E02.mkv
└── Season 02
├── Series Name B S02E01-E02.mkv
└── Series Name B S02E03.mkv
```
## Finding Media Identifiers
Below are instructions on how to find media provider identifiers for each supported provider.
### The Movie Database (TVDB)
The identifier is found in the URL of the movie/show. For example:
URL: `https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/569094-spider-man-across-the-spider-verse`
Identifier: `[tmdbid-569094]`
### Internet Movie Database (IMDB)
The identifier is found in the URL of the movie/show. For example:
URL: `https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9362722/`
Identifier: `[imdbid-tt9362722]`
### The TV Database (TVDB)
The identifier is found on the main page of the movie/show. For example:
![How to find The TVDB media identifier](/images/docs/tvdb-media-identifier-example.png)
