alexrw 13 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I'm seeing something weird lately (without changing server settings) in the past 2 weeks or so. Emby detects new movie files in my movie folders as usual and parses them, fething the movie data - poster, cast, synopsys, etc -- everything but it leaves the movie title as the file name, e.g. "My.Movie.2019.WEBRip.x264" instead of changing it to "My Movie" as it used to. All new movie files I added in the past 2 weeks or so have had this problem. TV shows, however, did not have this problem (curious). Any clues? I'm running latest Emby server 4.7.8.0 on WIndows 10.

alexrw 13 Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Not publicly, but i can pm you if you accept that EDIT: the video files in question do have embedded titles which are the same as the file name (as above), but they are far from being the first ones like this, and these should be overwritten by metadata from the internet, which Emby DID fetch correctly as I can see the poster, synopsys, etc. It only started doing this recently. ... for some reason it still used the embedded title instead of the metadata title it fetched from the internet (TMDB) Edited October 20, 2022 by alexr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1534 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 There is a library setting to partially control this. You have to select "Show advanced settings" (top of example below), then you get the option at the bottom of that image. But as described that should only affect the case when there is no metadata found - so perhaps something else is going on. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrw 13 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 No longer have server logs from when it was first imported (more than several days ago, logs moved on). I'll try to catch it in the act next time. In the meantime, is there anything you could suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
