Hi, I wanted to know if the a movie id can be the same as a tv id. I mean can a movie item have the same id as a tv item

Yes, they can. All of our media objects have their own ID space so the same ID can exist again in a different collection.

So in my Collectorz.com data base where it asks for "themoviedb ID" For "The Stand" I enter in "9045" which is the ID for TV / Mini-Series. But the ID also belongs to movie "Amen". So when I click on the link it brings up "Amen" instead of "The Stand". How do I enter in the ID so it shows up with the correct item "The Stand" when clicking on the link?

Hi Carl,
That sounds like something Collectorz would have to fix. It sounds like they only support searching and/or linking to our movies. Here's two examples, both have the same ID, but one is a movie, the other is a TV show.
