Media.addID

The Media.addID method allows you to add a file or disc id to the TMDb database. These file id's can be useful for identifying movies without having to worry about their file name.

We currently support 2 kinds of id's. More about these id's and hashes can be found here.

This is a POST method that needs a valid session key.
