davesurfer 14 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 So I've found that a few movies have the wrong Title. For example, I have "5th Wave" and "The Wave", both movies display as "5th Wave" incorrectly. How to do I change the metadata for the incorrectly labelled movie? Also this has happened for "Animal Kingdom" TV show, where the first pile of episodes have the wrong titles and descriptors as they are incorrectly being labelled from the nature show "Animal Kingdom" not the the drama series.

Luke 37994 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 In the web app open the movie detail screen, click the 3-dot menu, then click Identify. You can use the Identify tool to match it to internet metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonrwhitehouse 0 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Many thanks for trying to help. I am looking to move from Plex and am testinf Emby. At the moment my only concern is this ability to locate a metadata source. Re editing the user, I tried editing the user record but couldn't find anything which referred to whether an admin user - what do I need to change to make an admin user? Which menus have I looked in? I think I have tried all of them ! I thought that the Metadata manager would be the logical place but I can't find an identify option there. I have tried the web app too.

Simonrwhitehouse 0 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi, you are an admin, but what are you trying to Identify? What is the content type of the library that you setup in Emby Server? I am sure I am making this too hard.... I appreciate your help I set up a test folder. It included a folder s - one for films and one for TV shows. The TV show folder has worked fairly well. The only problems was that the childrens TV programme called "The Deep" was mixed up with the adult TV show called...."The Deep"! So I needed to correct the link so it picked up metadata for the childrens show The Movies folder hasn't worked so well. I put in 9 movies, of which 4 were recognised (correctly) but the rest were not. And when I went to correct the match using the identify function I couldn't find it... BUT now it is there (on every menu I try!). I can only assume that the issue was that I had just installed the programme and that bit of the software hadn't kicked in..!!! Glad I took the screen shots to show I wasn't going mad... Many thanks again for your help - I am glad that it seems to have resolved itself Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbravin 3 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Hello all Here is my setup. All my media is on a freenas server on which i installed the emby plugin. I try all software, solutions and integrations on a laptop called development and then when i am satisfied I propagate that solution to the rest of the household, which included 2 HTPC and 2 more laptops (on which I play my media) I use Kodi as my media player on all my units I am starting to getting the hang of emby now, and felt comfortable of extending the solution to the HTPC in the living room. On my development laptop I see all my movies and tv shows. Emby has populated to each show or movie some art that is called in Emby Primary. Let's take as an example James Bond Dr.No If i try to change the primary by clicking on edit images and select the 27th picture available, Emby just sits there and is waiting for the download. If i go to Kodi and try to change the picture by right clicking on the image and go to information Kodi abruptly closes. In this case I tried the refresh button, this brought up /media/movies/Dr. No (1962)/james bond Dr.No (1962).mkv If I look at the same file on my HTPC i get http://127.0.0.1:57578/emby/kodi/movies/9265/file.strm?kodiid)70+name=james+bond+dr no+%281962%29.mkv+id9265 If i go to the movie and click information refresh I get file.smtp? as a movies name. This prevents Kodi from putting the movie in a movie set for that movie on that pc. On the development PC i can put them into sets Similarly for tv Shows On the laptop I get //media/tv shows/magnum P i On the HTPC i get http://127.0.0.1:57578/emby/kodi/tv shows/1500 If i go to the show and click information refresh I get 1500 as a series name Why this difference between to pcs? Call me pedant (which I am) I like my movies to have a certain primary picture (in the case of James Bond it's the cover picture of their DVD box set) In the case of the tv shows many shows do not have a picture. When i go through the edit image process, the process is extremely slow when i want to download a picture but i have found that I can change the picture and this will update on all pcs eventually. I see that in a tv title view in Kodi the series are no longer presented by season, Am i missing a setting?

wbravin 3 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hello all Update I found that to change the primary image and to avoid the lengthy search you just need to double click on the image selected and this will set that image as a primary image Still for certain movies like james bond Dr.No, as mentioned above, using the double click does not work. I just get a circle going round and round and at each revolution changes color from blue to red to orange to green and just sits there. And I found that there is a process to set movies in collections. Can Is this automated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbravin 3 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hello Thank you for responding when i do to home and the select the movie library (or select the collection ) library I then click on the movie and click on the 3 dots and select edit image. I want to change the primary picture. I click on the lens and emby displays a selection of possible alternatives. I go to the selected alternative and click on the download icon. If i click only once emby starts searching If i click twice in most cases the image is downloaded and all is fine. However in many instances emby sjut sits and searches with no result. I believe that this is what you mean by web interface I have reinstalled the server in the hope of resolving many of my issues. It has Just now it is taking forever to san the libraries. It is immensely slo. for the last hours 2 it has gone from 88.5 to 88.7% I must have selected something incorrectly in the set up.., From the looks of it, Emby is the solution i required.This is why i am so pedant and why i am spending all day to set my environment up just so.

wbravin 3 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Thank you for the prompt reply, Clicking it once just puts emby in a forever search pattern.

Carlo 4337 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 @@wbravin it sounds like you are doing it correctly. It's possible you have a browser cache problem with that page and it's interfering with the update. Any chance you could try a different browser for Dr. No? IE if you were using Internet Explorer try Google Chrome or vice versa. That will also help to identify if it's browser problem or maybe a source problem. Emby could be having a problem pulling down the image from the provider which is out of Emby control. I'd had that happen a couple of times. In this case as a quick test, try selecting a different poster just to see if it works. Carlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
