horstepipe 356 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hey My initial aim was to update the rating of a movie for testing purposes, so I can do it for all movies in metadata manager afterwards. But I'm seeing some odd/unexpected behavior here: First problem: My metadata fetching settings for movies is - first priority themoviedb - second priority OMDB When I refresh the movie "Clerks" https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/2292-clerks I'm getting the rating 7.8 which corresponds the rating from OMDB/IMDB and not TheMovieDB, where it is 73%. Why is this happening? Is fetching ratings from themoviedb not possible anymore? Second problem: I manually edited the plot from the movie. So I expected by selecting "search for missing metadata" instead of "replace all metadata" my changes would persist, but they don't. The plot is being set back to the one from TheMovieDB. third problem: Even if I go to metadata manager -> movies and unselect the overview field at the active fields section, the plot is being replaced by the original one. So this function seems to be useless at all. Is this all a little buggy at the moment or am I getting these functions completely wrong? I'm running Emby Server v3.3.0.0 .

Is fetching ratings from themoviedb not possible anymore? Most users want the Omdb ratings given that they closely align with Imdb, so we have some hard-coded behavior to give the rating field priority from Omdb. It is only meant to be temporary until we can have field level settings. You can turn it off by disabling Omdb altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your movie have an nfo file in the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 356 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Does your movie have an nfo file in the folder? Nope, I don’t save metadata with the media files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only meant to be temporary until we can have field level settings. You can turn it off by disabling Omdb altogether. Found another problem. That hard-coded behavior is only true when you refresh an existing movie. When a new movie is being added to database initially, the rating from TheMovieDatabase is being fetched. Also, there’s no rotten tomatoes Score being fetched as it is also provided by OMDB. When you refresh the movie afterwards you get the OMDB + RT ratings.

Luke 37066 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not sure yet but this the danger we run into from having so many settings. It's just hard for us to test all of the possible combinations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm adding always more than one movie. Most of them get the themoviedb rating (added by scheduled library scan), some of them get the omdb rating, very strange...
