vincen 12 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Bonjour Je rencontre un soucis avec une série qu'Emby persiste à détecter de façon incorrecte. La série c'est Animaniacs (2020) that Emby detects as Animania (2020). I have manually indicated the imdb id but no care ! I have renamed the directory this way: Animaniacs (2020) [imdbid-tt6951546] but still the same. I have also resetted the detection of that media but no changes. Any ideas ? Thanks Vincèn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution GrimReaper 3294 Posted February 23 Solution Share Posted February 23 (edited) TVDB and TMDB list that series differently and that is the root issue. For TVDB, it is all original Animaniacs (1993), Seasons 6 and onwards. For TMDB those are two distinct shows. Animaniacs - TheTVDB.com Animaniacs (TV Series 1993-1998) — The Movie Database (TMDB) (themoviedb.org) Animaniacs (TV Series 2020-2023) — The Movie Database (TMDB) (themoviedb.org) As TVDB is your top-preferred meta-provider, it doesn't recognize "Animaniacs (2020)" and it's being identified as "Animania (2020)", TvdbId 375642 Animania - TheTVDB.com.

vincen 12 Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 @GrimReaperThanks a lot for detailed explanations that allow me also to better understand how Emby works Nevertheless I have 2 side questions: -> why it didn't work when I manually putted the imdb id in the Identify box for the show ? -> same question regarding the tag imdbid added at root folder of the TV show ?

ImdbId is used only as a reference/lookup on other provider's databases, nothing is ever scraped from IMDB (cost-prohibitive), so it's more of a hit-or-miss compared to using actual preferred provider's ID, as it is depending on whether same ImdbId is entered/linked to a show or not (as it doesn't have to be, since external IDs are purely optional feature with the providers). In your exact case, ImdbId tt6951546 actually doesn't exist/is not linked to any TV show on TVDB (Animaniacs link to tt0105941). It does on TMDB though.
