chenks 21 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 is there a way to bulk edit content?i have a number of movies where the wrong rating has been downloaded (the US one where it should be the UK rating). i can select multiple movies, but can't see a way of editing them all at once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-dumb1 121 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 @@Luke -- thanks for being so diligent in responding to this. I also asked for this quite some time ago. Chenks hit the nail on the head. Emby is making assumptions about metadata which might not be correct. One movie here and there is fine, but when it does it to hundreds of movies, there's a problem and it can't be undone easily. No one should have to drop to a command line and regex the metadata. There's NO way to tell Emby to stop attempting to be too helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply does what you've told it to do by taking your metadata settings and using them to download metadata. If you think there is an issue please create a topic with a specific example. Thanks.

chenks 21 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 where there must be an issue as i've got Emby metadata settings set to English language, and UK country.

Luke 37064 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yea, have you checked MovieDb http://www.themoviedb.org/ to see if they even have a UK rating for your movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenks 21 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 the example is Casino Jack it has a 15 rating in the UK. Emby has given it an R rating. TMDB has just an R rating. now, i'm not disputing that the US rating is R, but what i don't want is Emby picking that R rating.if it can't find a UK rating then leave it blank.

Luke 37064 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 If Tmdb does not have the UK rating then we do fallback to US. We do not currently have any settings to leave it blank. But this could be a possibility for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37064 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Understood, but most people would like to see something instead of nothing. Especially for things like the movie summary. Most people who can understand English would rather have English text as opposed to no text at all. Images as well. Sometimes the English poster is the only poster available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenks 21 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Yes but English doesn't equate to American. So by all means use English as default but that doesn't mean use US ratings. Also, if TMDB is missing out data the maybe a different source is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenks 21 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Sounds very convoluted. Emby downloads US data that I don't want because UK data isn't there. So I need to update TMDB so that emby can then get it. I still say that emby should not download US data just because it can't find what I've told it to get. And note that US does NOT equate to English, so the argument given as to why emby does it is not valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Why complain about something that you can fix by contributing to the metadata online so everybody could benefit? I'm sure you would also complain if no data was downloaded at all - so having some is of benefit and a fail safe which most would agree with i suspect even if they are not American! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Exactly, and I respectfully disagree with this. We have never had a single UK user bring this up before. The vast majority of people would rather have some data as opposed to no data. We are open to alternative sources for metadata. Can you suggest one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37064 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 There is probably a delay between updating the website and when it becomes available through the api. Most of the providers have a delay like that. Emby will also cache for up to 2 days so you'd have to find the corresponding folder and delete it programdata\cache\tmdb-movies2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you suggest one? maybe most haven't noticed it before? as above, i am not saying don't pull down any data if no UK data is there, i am specifically talking about the age classification rating. having Emby pull down US ratings is of no use to a UK user. an R rating means absolutely nothing to a UK viewer. and as for an alternative source, well IMDB would be the obvious one.

Happy2Play 8281 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) IMDB will never be an option unless someone wants to pay the api fee. .....annual fees ranging from $15,000 to higher depending on the audience for the data and which data are being licensed.

the-dumb1 121 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'm with chenks on this one, and I posted about it before--not going to bother digging it up. Just as Luke states, that "The vast majority of people would rather have some data as opposed to no data." So, for the minority, Emby is making incorrect decisions (assumptions) with respect to metadata. Bulk metadata editing has been requested before, but it's not the silver bullet. From a programmatic view, I believe that having Emby be less helpful (as chenks is implying) is a boolean matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
