SUMMARY

This article will explain how to retrieve the show_id and sequence_id for a Sequence via the Flix Client. Foundry Support might ask for show_id and/or sequence_id during troubleshooting, as Flix logs do not always include titles or tracking codes.

If you are comfortable with SQL, you can also retrieve these via a query which uses the sequence title or tracking code. You can find example queries in this article: Q100617: Example MySQL Queries for Flix

If you are unsure of what show_id and sequence_id are, and you would like to learn more, you can find more information in this knowledge base article: Q100622: Understanding assets within the Flix database structure

MORE INFORMATION

Below are instructions on how to determine the show_id and/or sequence_id from the Flix Client using Developer Tools, also referred to as Dev Tools. There are other methods to get the show_id and sequence_id using the Dev Tools, but this is the most straightforward process:

1. Open the Flix Client

2. Open the Dev Tools by using one of the compatible options from the table below based on the Flix client type being utilized:

3. From the Flix Home Page, navigate to your desired Show and Sequence

4. Switch to the Network tab in the Dev Tools, and enter "revisions" into the filter field: 

5. In the Name column, click on the request named "revisions?partial=true&per_page=100"

6. To the right of the Name column under Headers > General, you should now see a Request URL which includes both the show_id and the sequence_id for the Sequence you are in

For context, the pattern used for the revisions Request URL is: 
http(s)://<server_hostname>:<server_port>/show/<show_id>/sequence/<sequence_id>/revisions?partial=true&per_page=100
