TMDB Query of Chinese Titles appears as Simplified Chinese

[boxod 0]

Hi, i've been trying to add my library of Chinese (Hong Kong) movies to emby, but after adding all Names and Descriptions are appearing as Simplified Chinese.

Further investigation from the logs i found there's a -HK missing from the query.

 

e.g. this is what emby sent to tmdb: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=f6bd687ffa63cd282b6ff2c6877f2669&query=S%E9%A2%A8%E6%9A%B4&language=zh

this is what it should be to show correct language result: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=f6bd687ffa63cd282b6ff2c6877f2669&query=S%E9%A2%A8%E6%9A%B4&language=zh-HK

 

 

Is there an easy way for a regular user like me to manually modify the query to get my desired results?

Thanks.

If you've clicked the 2 samples i've posted in the original post, you can see the id is exactly the same, yet the content is completely different.

i know you probably don't understand the language, but one is in  Simplified Chinese (zh-CN), the other in Traditional Chinese (zh-HK). if you don't specify zh-HK in the TMDB query, it will default to zh-CN.

 

i'm just hoping you could give me a quick fix on where i could manually edit this

What is your Emby system language set to?  Dashboard-Settings

 

What are your Library download languages and country set to? Dashboard-Library-each library

Ok, I see the issue here. we only have one Chinese option for metadata language, and we need to split this into three like we have for the app display language settings.

 

We will review this, thanks.

This will be in Emby Server 4.2. Thanks.
