CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hello, I would be happy to help emby misidentifies the movie X-men: First Class At first he identifies it as a documentary film: X-Men: First Class 35mm Special (2011), ID number in tmdb - 691677 Even after I change the movie identification in both tmdb and imdb He still doesn't recognize the film correctly!

pwhodges 1529 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Have you just changed the values in the metadata, or have you actually gone through the identify procedure using the correct id? My practice in this kind of situation is simply to add [tmdbid=49538] to the folder name; the change forces Emby to re-identify it, and the value overrides the previous error (the value I've given is the one you need in this case) - it also ensures that the identification remains correct if a full rescan is required for any reason.

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 excellent I will try it now. With this method that changes the name of the folder, Does it just force emby to take that info? Can I do this with all movies? Right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly do I add it? At the end at the beginning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1529 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 At the end (and with the brackets). I don't know why it wouldn't work - I do this regularly with tricky items (though only two of my hundreds of mainstream movies need it), and it never fails for me. My main use of it is for operas, which I wish to name in the filing system differently from how the metadata providers name them. What is your folder structure? I use the recommended format of a folder under the library folder for each movie separately, and no further nesting (such as grouping folder for a series - these get joined as collections in Emby, but not in the file system).

Luke 37064 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I think you have the folder/file named wrong because look: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/691677-x-men-first-class-35mm-special?language=en-US I think Emby Server acted correctly in the beginning.

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 no luke, You are wrong. this is not the movie. my folder name is : x-men first class (2011) - So emby should automatically recognize the movie as X-Men: First Class (2011) — The Movie Database (TMDB) (themoviedb.org) And not the identification you brought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 OK I think this needs to be reported to MovieDb because when you search, look at what is the first result back: https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=X-Men%3A+First+Class Maybe @Happy2Play can report that to them.

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 True, I noticed that too. In the search, a documentary film appears first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37064 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Try responding with this: The issue is actually more basic and has nothing to do with documentary/movie/series classification. If you search for "X-Men: First Class", there is an exact title match in the search results, but this is the second result in the list. For example: https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=X-Men%3A+First+Class Instead, "X-Men: First Class 35mm Special" gets chosen as the best match. Applications can workaround this, but such workarounds can sometimes have negative effects. Ideally their search engine would be smart enough to order the results based on how closely they match the search criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should an EXACT match - why is it not ? I'm not sure how TMDB think this is not their problem - it is. If you try 'X-Men: F' - you get X-Men: Days of Future Past as the first entry ! ?? Please ask them to explain the logic here and maybe Emby can accommodate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The Mods over there don't see it as a problem as TMDB does not have an exact search function. But technically the discussion in that item is not the correct area as there is not issue with this item itself.
