How do i force tmdb metadata for a particular series ?

[xd003 5]

i have not changed anything in the default series type library creation options. Unless i am mistaken, it uses tvdb by default which has been fine for me most of the times but there are certain series wherein tvdb has totally messed up the seasons/episode listing and i would like to use tmdb for that particular series. I saw some posts on the forum regarding this but it was quite inconvenient like switch to tmdb as default, then rescan that series then lock it and switch back to tvdb. I have all my content perfectly named with an indication of what metadata provider's season + episode listing is being followed, Can't emby simply make use of that information instead of having users do that process everytime they want to use a specific metadata provider for a series ? 

For instance all of my series folder have the tmdb/tvdb-XXXX mentioned in the folder itself  -

Is there a way to have emby automatically choose the metadata provider from the folder name instead of a fixed priority in library creation options

Messed up how?  Could you consider adjusting your file numbering to match TVDB, if that's the problem?  Have you checked whether TVDB has the order you require as DVD order, for instance?

@pwhodgesthanks for the heads up, i can confirm that tvdb's dvd order is exactly how my library is ( and how its on tmdb by default). i have changed the file order setting to dvd
