| Service data attribute | Description |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `entity_id` | `entity_id` of the client |
| `media_content_id` | Quoted JSON containing:<br/><ul><li>`library_name` (Required)</li><li>`video_name` (Required)</li></ul> |
| `media_content_type` | `VIDEO` |
| `media_content_id` | Quoted JSON containing:<br/><ul><li>`library_name` (Required)</li><li>`title` (Required)</li><li>`<SEARCH_KEY>` (optional)</li></ul> |
| `media_content_type` | `movie` |
##### Example:
For movies it's usually sufficient to provide the title. However, if the title you provide has multiple matches (such as with remakes), more search keys may be necessary. These optional keys can be included in the `media_content_id` JSON payload to restrict the search:
* `unwatched`: Restrict search to unwatched items only (`True`, `False`)
* `actor`: Restrict search for movies that include a specific actor
* `collection`: Restrict search within a named Plex collection ("Back to the Future", "Indiana Jones")
* `contentRating`: Restrict search to a specific content rating ("PG", "R")
* `country`: Restrict search to a specific country of origin
* `decade`: Restrict search to a specific decade ("1960", "2010")
* `director`: Restrict search to a specific director
* `genre`: Restrict search to a specific genre ("Animation", "Drama", "Sci-Fi")
* `resolution`: Restrict search to a specific video resolution (480, 720, 1080, "4k")
* `year`: Restrict search to a specific year
##### Examples:
```yaml
entity_id: media_player.plex_player
media_content_type: VIDEO
media_content_id: '{ "library_name": "Adult Movies", "video_name": "Blade" }'
media_content_type: movie
media_content_id: '{ "library_name": "Adult Movies", "title": "Blade" }'
```
```yaml
entity_id: media_player.plex_player
media_content_type: movie
media_content_id: '{ "library_name": "Adult Movies", "title": "The Manchurian Candidate", year=1962 }'
# Would find the original instead of the 2004 remake
```
"Lazy" searches are also possible:
```yaml
entity_id: media_player.plex_player
media_content_type: movie
media_content_id: '{ "library_name": "Adult Movies", "title": "die hard", year=1995 }'
# Would find the sequel, "Die Hard: With a Vengeance"
```
