cncb 17 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 It would be better to use EPG metadata instead of thetvdb for recordings. This is especially the case for PBS kids programs, where they group multiple episodes together in the EPG but list them individually in thetvdb. So, the episode title is totally off from thetvdb. Also, recently The Late Show With Stephen Colbert is one episode off on thetvdb relative to the EPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hi, the next release of Emby Server will rely more on EPG data. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuggy 3 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Has this been changed? If so is there a setting that I need to modify for recorded shows? I've been struggling with this issue on recorded shows as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuggy 3 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 On a related note, where does Schedules Direct get it's data? In order to make the "dont record shows in my database" feature, i'd need to align my existing shows with the schedules direct data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yes it has been changed. Try a new recording, and if you're still having an issue then we can go over it in detail. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuggy 3 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm still having some issues with a kids show, paw patrol. The guide is set to record any episode that we don't have. There are several that the guide doesn't match tvdb or imdb. For example, season 3 ep 4 is "air pups" in the guide, but episode 5 on imdb. This causes emby to think we don't have the episode and it records it every time it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The guide data needs to have the correct episode number in order for that to work. There's not much we can do about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuggy 3 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Do we know where schedules direct pulls their data from? I could set my episodes up to match it if I knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Gracenote but the easiest solution is probably to disable internet metadata for your recordings library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuggy 3 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 What exactly will that do? Is it just going to pull the Metadata from the guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Exactly. If you just use the metadata from the guide as-is, then in most cases you shouldn't see duplicated recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
