About this column

This column identifies the episode (typically the name of the episode) and should be the Episode Edit Level EIDR. The EpisodeID Edit Level typically distinguishes between editorial cuts of an episode, including territory censored cuts. An edit can be defined as any change to frames of video on the main title, body, or end credits.

Example: Episode Edit - "Beloved Aunt" 10.5240/2AB3-E09C-C23E-C126-FA98-M

Additional Google requirements

Google now requires partners to provide avails in the EMA standard specifications. An important aspect of this requirement will be to include a version specific ID (preferably using the EIDR standard) to uniquely identify each title. Within the EMA avail, EIDR IDs identifying versions should be populated in the "EpisodeID" column and alternative IDs must be included in the "EpisodeAltID" column.

Best practices

EIDR IDs can be expressed with or without the EIDR prefix. "10.5240/".
