Trakt, TMDB linking for less common titles

Was wondering why I couldn't get type to work as it is should be ?id_type=movie not ?type=movie.

Ya, their documentation is out of sync with their current api. I was having the same issue until I opened up their 'console' window and it was preloaded with a functional example url.

They offer a query parameter solution for that:

https://trakt.tv/search/tmdb/1405/?id_type=movie

https://trakt.tv/search/tmdb/1405/?id_type=person

https://trakt.tv/search/tmdb/1405/?id_type=show

https://trakt.tv/search/tmdb/1405/?id_type=episode

I imagine Emby will have enough context when building the single item page to know what type it is.

This would avoid the Trakt 404s I'm seeing when Emby assumes that a given TMDB item will have the optional IMDB id populated.

Yup, did some playing around and discovered that too. Thanks.
