lordjynx 1 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'm having an issue with Emby randomly creating folder names for the movie name instead of the metadata movie.nfo file that radarr is creating for a movie. I'm using local metadata only because radarr takes care of the metadata generation and I don't need two metadata sources of truth. My folder names are like so (I don't like spaces or () because Linux considers them all special characters) Movies_Main\Collection (if applicable)\Movie_Name_YYYY\movie_name_yyyy.mediainfo-etc.mkv When viewing in Emby, random movies will show incorrectly like this: Example: Transformers_Rise_of_the_Beasts no year of release, etc. A snip-it of my movie.nfo that radarr generates looks like this: <movie> <title>Transformers: Rise of the Beasts</title> <originaltitle>Transformers: Rise of the Beasts</originaltitle> <sorttitle>transformers rise beasts</sorttitle> the year is listed further down like all the other movies. Does anyone have an idea what could be happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordjynx 1 Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 (edited) I noticed on the movies that are having issues, the original title in the metadata is blank: (the movie.nfo has the Original title in it though) Messed up movie: Working movie: Edited March 1 by lordjynx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37109 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hi, are you able to reproduce this again with another new movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the cases where the movie did this, I did a "search for new release in Radarr", downloaded a new release, then it fixed itself in Emby. Does that make sense?

Solution lordjynx 1 Posted March 1 Author Solution Share Posted March 1 @LukeI managed to fix it! There was an extra .nfo file in the same folder... As soon as I removed that and just left the movie.nfo, it fixed it instantly after a rescan! I tested it on multiple folders.. same result! Sorry to waste the forum with garbage!

Luke 37109 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 What nfo was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, some of my files had additional .nfo files along with them detailing file qualities, smaller metadata, etc. Essentially, it came with the movie files as an additional file. I can PM you if you want further details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod626 3 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'm having a similar issue where Emby randomly names a video clip with the folder name rather than the file name. I have all metadata sources, etc. disabled. To fix it, I just need to delete the library and recreate it once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
