Finding the IMDb ID (tt number)
Updated Jul 14, 2026
Every movie and show on IMDb has a unique ID that starts with “tt”. It's the most reliable way for Playflix to identify your title.
- 1Open imdb.com and search for the title.
- 2Open the title's page.
- 3Look at the browser address bar — the URL contains /title/tt0369610/.
- 4Copy the tt number and use it as the first field of your file name.

Use the same tt ID for every episode of a series — the season and episode fields tell them apart.
