Can't identify movie with <movie filename>.nfo

[isarris 0]

Hi,

Emby misidentifies a certain movie. I tried to help it by creating an .nfo file. The .nfo filename is <movie filename>.nfo in the same folder as the movie itself, but although it exists in both IMDB and TMDB, Emby either can't find it or can't parse the .nfo file.

As for tor the contents of the .nfo file I tried:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172049/

and when this didn't work, I tried:

<imdbid>tt1172049</imdbid>

but this didn't work either. Emby just can't identify the movie.

After editing the .nfo file I do "Refresh metadata" only on the movie itself, selecting "Replace all metadata". Is this the right way to do it? Is the .nfo file correct?

Any idea what else I can try?

TIA

Hi there, please provide the exact folder name, file name and the emby server log from when you imported it. Thanks !

Actually, did you format your nfo file?  As you can see <imdbid>tt1172049</imdbid> was used.

Here is what I just tested.

Spoiler

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<movie>
  <imdbid>tt0322259</imdbid>
</movie>

But I don't believe Emby will just read a file with a IMDB url containing the ID like your first test.

You can also use folder naming with providerids also for identification

• Movies
  • Demolition [imdbid=tt0322259]
    • filename anything you like

Thanks Happy2Play, my updated .nfo file now reads (same as yours):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<movie>
  <imdbid>tt0322259</imdbid>
</movie>

However, the problem seems to be that "Refresh metadata" doesn't do what I thought it would do. In fact, it doesn't seem that it causes Emby to go out and refetch metadata based on the updated .nfo file. Here's the relevant part from the server log:

Sorry that wasn't the correct id for that movie, but retested adding if while it has not been already imported.

If item has already been imported then you want to check the items external id as they have already recorded to the database.

But may need to know the exact steps you are taking.

Thanks mate, I will do some more tests to try to understand the issue a little better. I will get back to you.

[isarris 0]

Ok, I removed and readded the movie to the library folder, rescanned the library, and Emby finally found it. This is really frustrating, is that really what we have to do in order for Emby to pick up the updated .nfo file?

Doing "Refresh metadata" on the movie AFTER it was imported does NOT work, it does not pick up the updated .nfo file. Could you pls run a test to confirm?

[Happy2Play 8321]

Need to know your exact steps but changing a nfo file will not necessarily change what is already in the database for an item.

Refresh metadata refreshes from the internet, not from your nfo files. Just run a normal library scan and Emby Server will pick up the changes to your nfo.

[isarris 0]

Exact steps:

1. I scan library and import new movies.
2. I realize that Emby didn't identify a movie correctly.
3. I create an .nfo file in the same folder the movie is in and same filename.
   1. FOLDER X
      1. movie Y.mkv
      2. movie Y.nfo
4. In Emby I open the 3 dots movie menu (...), select "Refresh Metadata" and then "Replace all metadata"
5. It doesn''t work, no metadata refresh happens.

Is this the correct workflow? What am I doing wrong here?

Thoughts?

Please attach the complete log file rather than a snippet.

I've tested the file name:
 

Demolition.2015.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG.mp4

And it worked just fine.

Exact steps:

1. I scan library and import new movies.
2. I realize that Emby didn't identify a movie correctly.
3. I create an .nfo file in the same folder the movie is in and same filename.
   1. FOLDER X
      1. movie Y.mkv
      2. movie Y.nfo
4. In Emby I open the 3 dots movie menu (...), select "Refresh Metadata" and then "Replace all metadata"
5. It doesn''t work, no metadata refresh happens.

Is this the correct workflow? What am I doing wrong here?

Is there a reason you're not just doing an 'Identify' via the (...) menu at Step .3 instead of creating an .nfo file?
