Unable to get moviedb metadata with episodes

Recommended Posts

I have several cartoons filed as "episodes" in my library. They don't seem to be able to get metadata updates from moviedb. Is this because Emby thinks they're TV shows, not movies? Is there any way I can force a metadata update for them if that's the case?

(Example: The Door (1968).)

Can you go over a specific example to include folder structure, naming scheme and library content type.

As TV libraries cannot query Movie and Movies cannot query TV.  Now Mixed Content is dependent on Server detection of type per structure and naming scheme.

I was afraid of that. Right now, I have it in a "TV" library, under the path "Misc. Cartoons > Season 1968 > The Door.mkv". If I changed it to a mixed-content library, would it be able to get its metadata from Moviedb then?

Not likely as you have a season folder that I would expect to get identified as TV.

As that is a Looney Tunes episode according to TVDB

Looney Tunes - - TheTVDB.com

Otherwise it would need to be in Mixed Content in movie naming possibly like Misc. Cartoons/The Door.mkv.
