Identify function with IMDB ID doesn't work

[mkulik91 1]

Hello,

I've got a problem using Identify function with IMDB ID. Function was working excellent in 4.7.9.0 server version, I've noticed problems on 4.7.10.0 (it may not be connected, just my observation).

After entering IMDB ID I receive "No matching items found" information:

What is potentially suspicious, I've found out in server log, that while I'm searching for IMDB ID, in log it looks like it's searching in other database:

2022-12-12 13:24:34.107 Info HttpClient: POST https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/login
2022-12-12 13:24:34.787 Info HttpClient: GET https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/search?type=series&q=tt0060019&remote_id=tt0060019

Full log in attachment. 

Can someone help me with this issue? I've tried with reinstalling OMDB plugin (current version as well as older) and nothing works.

Thanks in advance

This is going to be a long one:

That show is a mess, starting from IMDB listing:

 

Years 1966-1973, however 1st episode listing is 1949, moving through the '50s? 

 

In any case you won't find that on either TVDB or TMDB; 

1) On TVDB, it's part of a Looney Toons series as per:

The Road Runner Show - TheTVDB.com

Episodes are thrown accross various seasons, for example 1st episode "Fast and  Furry-Ous" is S1949E24 of Looney Toons:

Other episodes can be found under respective season-years.

2) On TMDB, it doesn't even exist as a TV show in any form, neither as a separate series nor as a part of some other series; the only reference is found in "Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner (theatrical cartoons)" list - TMDB lists are currently not supported by Emby, you can lend your support here:

where most of those episodes are listed as movies.

3) OMDB does have that particular show listed but it's fairly limited in the data provided:

{"Title":"The Road Runner Show","Year":"1966–1973","Rated":"TV-G","Released":"16 Sep 1949","Runtime":"30 min","Genre":"Animation, Family, Comedy","Director":"N/A","Writer":"N/A","Actors":"Mel Blanc, June Foray, Dick Beals","Plot":"A scheming coyote, constantly at odds with a swift and clever roadrunner bird, uses various gadgets and devices to try and catch his longtime rival.","Language":"English","Country":"United States","Awards":"N/A","Poster":"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYzRkYWU2ZTUtOWZiYy00ZGRkLTkxOTgtODg5ZTEzNGM3ZDdmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODk1MjAxNzQ@._V1_SX300.jpg","Ratings":[{"Source":"Internet Movie Database","Value":"7.9/10"}],"Metascore":"N/A","imdbRating":"7.9","imdbVotes":"11,612","imdbID":"tt0060019","Type":"series","totalSeasons":"1","Response":"True"}

 

In any case, you will not be able to identify/scrape that series by regular means (TVDB/TMDB as topmost scraper) unless you do some renaming (as a part of TVDB Looney Toons series), scrape limited data from OMDB or opt for a lot of manual labor. Yeah, bad luck.

Yeah, it's gonna be easier to tag it manually in this case. Many thanks for checking this - the most important info for me is that identify function is not broken globally for my instance, just for this series.
