How to change metadata for wrongly discovered movies

So I've found that a few movies have the wrong Title. For example, I have "5th Wave" and "The Wave", both movies display as "5th Wave" incorrectly. How to do I change the metadata for the incorrectly labelled movie? Also this has happened for "Animal Kingdom" TV show, where the first pile of episodes have the wrong titles and descriptors as they are incorrectly being labelled from the nature show "Animal Kingdom" not the the drama series. Thanks!

In the web app open the movie detail screen, click the 3-dot menu, then click Identify. You can use the Identify tool to match it to internet metadata.

I don't seem to have that option in there, there is no Identify option:

I am new to Emby and have the same issue re lack of Identify option in menus

I have only set up one user who has the option to create new users do I assume that it must be an admin user...

 

How can I check, and how can I change to an admin user?

 

Thanks

Hi there, try editing the user record in the Emby Server dashboard. To learn how to do this, please check out our wiki:

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Users

 

What menus are you looking for Identify in?

Many thanks for trying to help.  I am looking to move from Plex and am testinf Emby.  At the moment my only concern is this ability to locate a metadata source.

 

Re editing the user, I tried editing the user record but couldn't find anything which referred to whether an admin user - what do I need to change to make an admin user?

 

Which menus have I looked in?  I think I have tried all of them ! ;) I thought that the Metadata manager would be the logical place but I can't find an identify option there.  I have tried the web app too. See enclosed screen shots for menu options available

 

 

Many thanks again for trying to help me

Hello all

 

I am new to emby, in the sens that i am finally ready to install it into my production environment. Currently it is installed on my development pc where i test all things before I i use them.

 

My objective is to use emby to manage my media and kodi to deliver it

 

I downloaded and installed the freenas  11.2 U6 Emby plugin 

 

So i downloaded and installed the repository.beta.emby.kodi-1.0.8 zip file. and installed it in kodi 18.4. No kodi libraries and i loaded

 

I have emby server ver 4.2.1.0

Kodi Emby 4.1.14 by angelblue05

 

I then added the libraries 

 

In my tv shows media shared folder I have show+season+episode.

 

When I look at my TV shows in kodi under shows I see that many shows have their thumbnail displayed and some don't. If i go toi right click and select information and try to refresh/ Kodi displays a number instead of the shows name. If i look at the path that emby assigned to this show I get

Http://127.0.0.1:57578/emby/kodi/tvshows/15035 

 

In addition I just spent the last 2 weeks re-tagging all my music because i kodi was duplicating some tracks.and because some tags of a classic compilation CD kodi wrote cyrillic names. So i tagged all with musicBrainz and all was fine. now with Emby that cd was again tagged in Cyrillic..

 

How di i ensure that the tags are correct?

What di i do wrong?

How can I fix this?

 

Thank you for looking and commenting on this

Hi, you are an admin, but what are you trying to Identify? What is the content type of the library that you setup in Emby Server?

Hi, you are an admin, but what are you trying to Identify? What is the content type of the library that you setup in Emby Server?

 

I am sure I am making this too hard....  I appreciate your help

 

I set up a test folder.  It included a folder s - one for films and one for TV shows. 

 

The TV show folder has worked fairly well.  The only problems was that the childrens TV programme called "The Deep" was mixed up with the adult TV show called...."The Deep"!  So I needed to correct the link so it picked up metadata for the childrens show

 

The Movies folder hasn't worked so well.  I put in 9 movies, of which 4 were recognised (correctly) but the rest were not. And when I went to correct the match using the identify function I couldn't find it...

 

 

BUT now it is there (on every menu I try!).  I can only assume that the issue was that I had just installed the programme and that bit of the software hadn't kicked in..!!!  Glad I took the screen shots to show I wasn't going mad...

 

 

Many thanks again for your help - I am glad that it seems to have resolved itself

Hello all

 

Here is my setup. 

 

All my media is on a freenas server on which i installed the emby plugin.

 

I try all software, solutions and integrations on a laptop called development and then when i am satisfied I propagate that solution to the rest of the household, which included 2 HTPC and 2 more laptops (on which I play my media)

 

I use Kodi as my media player on all my units

 

I am starting to getting the hang of emby now, and felt comfortable of extending the solution to the HTPC in the living room.

 

On my development laptop I see all my movies and tv shows.

 

Emby has populated to each show or movie some art that is called in Emby Primary. Let's take as an example James Bond Dr.No 

If i try to change the primary by clicking on edit images  and select the 27th picture available, Emby just sits there and is waiting for the download.

 

If i go to Kodi and try to change the picture by right clicking on the image and go to information Kodi abruptly closes. In this case I tried the refresh button, this brought up /media/movies/Dr. No (1962)/james bond Dr.No (1962).mkv

 

If I look at the same file on my HTPC i get

 

http://127.0.0.1:57578/emby/kodi/movies/9265/file.strm?kodiid)70+name=james+bond+dr no+%281962%29.mkv+id9265

 

If i go to the movie and click information refresh I get file.smtp? as a movies name.

 

This prevents Kodi from putting the movie in a movie set for that movie on that pc. On the development PC i can put them into sets

 

Similarly for tv Shows

 

On the laptop I get //media/tv shows/magnum P i

 

On the HTPC i get 

 

http://127.0.0.1:57578/emby/kodi/tv shows/1500

 

If i go to the show and click information refresh I get 1500 as a series name 

 

Why this difference between to pcs?

 

Call me pedant (which I am) I like my movies to have a certain primary picture  (in the case of James Bond it's the cover picture  of their DVD box set)

 

In the case of the tv shows many shows do not have a picture.

 

When i go through the edit image process, the process is extremely slow when i want to download a picture but i have found that I can change the picture and this will update on all pcs eventually. 

 

I see that in a tv title view in Kodi the series are no longer presented by season, Am i missing a setting? 

 

 

Thank you for your guidance and support

Hello all

 

Update

 

I found that to change the primary image and to avoid the lengthy search you just need to double click on the image selected and this will set that image as a primary image

 

Still for certain movies like james bond Dr.No, as mentioned above, using the double click does not work. I just get a circle going round and round and at each revolution changes color from blue to red to orange to green and just sits there.

 

And I found that there is a process to set movies in collections. Can Is this automated?

Hi, have you checked out the AutoBoxSets plugin?

Many thanks @@Luke

 

This plugin has created all the collections necessary

 

However 

 

I am still facing the issue listed here above regarding the naming of files on the HTPC and the issue with Dr.NO and other James Bond movies not being able to change the primary picture.

Hello

 

Thank you for responding

 

when i do to home and the select the movie library (or select the collection ) library I then click on the movie and click on the 3 dots and select edit image. I want to change the primary picture. I click on the lens and emby displays a selection of possible alternatives. I go to the selected alternative and click on the download icon. If i click only once emby starts searching If i click twice in most cases the image is downloaded and all is fine. However in many instances emby sjut sits and searches with no result.

 

I believe that this is what you mean by web interface 

 

I have reinstalled the server in the hope of resolving many of my issues. It has Just now it is taking forever to san the libraries. It is immensely slo. for the last hours  2 it has gone from 88.5 to 88.7%  

 

I must have selected something incorrectly in the set up.., 

 

 

From the looks of it, Emby is the solution i required.This is why i am so pedant and why i am spending all day to set my environment up just so.

 

Thank again for your help.

Hi, I'm afraid I don't understand the problem. You only need to click the download icon once and then be patient.

Thank you for the prompt reply, 

 

Clicking it once just puts emby in a forever search pattern. I am prepared to wait 15 to 20 seconds for the image to be downloaded not more than 10 minutes. Are my expectation incorrect and need to be reset?

@@wbravin it sounds like you are doing it correctly.  It's possible you have a browser cache problem with that page and it's interfering with the update.

 

Any chance you could try a different browser for Dr. No?  IE if you were using Internet Explorer try Google Chrome or vice versa.

 

That will also help to identify if it's browser problem or maybe a source problem.  Emby could be having a problem pulling down the image from the provider which is out of Emby control.  I'd had that happen a couple of times.  In this case as a quick test, try selecting a different poster just to see if it works.
