JDounis 2 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Hi! Ok so I had to reinstall emby and rescan my database. On rescan, some of the movies did not identify. On the previous install, I set download images to folder, so now all that displays is the poster, logo, landscape, and fanart. I did notice, however, that the movies that did not identify all had the same naming convention: "Movie Title, The (Year)". I have no idea why this is happening, especially when other movies with the same naming convention did identify correctly. Can anyone please help me! Thank you. embyserver.txt Edited October 9, 2019 by JDounis
Happy2Play 9060 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 What problem are you having? Can you go over your folder structure and naming scheme. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie-naming
JDounis 2 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 What problem are you having? Can you go over your folder structure and naming scheme. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie-naming Ok so my file structure for all my movies is: Movie Title (Year) / Movie Title So for example: F:/ Movies HD / Amazing Spider-Man, The (2012) / The Amazing Spider-Man
Luke 38500 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Why do you feel that it didn't identify? How did you setup the library in emby library setup?
JDounis 2 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 All of the metadata is missing (Cast, Overview, Rating etc). Please see attached screenshots of library set up for movies.
Luke 38500 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Did you try searching moviedb to compare? I realize you're here assuming Emby problem, but look what i get from the Moviedb search engine when I take your exact folder name and punch it into Moviedb search: https://www.themoviedb.org/search/movie?query=Amazing%20Spider-Man,%20The&language=en
Solution Happy2Play 9060 Posted October 9, 2019 Solution Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Same discussion here about the naming scheme T, T (Y). Emby uses Folder name instead of file name when items are in there own folder. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/77885-odd-metadata-issue-since-switching-to-linux/?p=793079 Edited October 9, 2019 by Happy2Play 1
JDounis 2 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Interesting. I tried to search "Amazing Spider-Man 2, The" in the moviedb and it appeared (this did identify in emby). However, even when I changed the order to OMDB as first preference, "Amazing Spider-Man, The" still did not identify... So lost. And all my folder names are as per the preferred naming scheme..

Happy2Play 9060 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Emby does not handle that naming scheme (folder) very well when querying provider sites. I would assume because the returned title is not a exact title match to the query. 2019-10-08 18:49:32.010 Info App: MovieDbProvider: Finding id for item: Amazing Spider-Man, The 2019-10-08 18:49:32.011 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=f6bd687ffa63cd282b6ff2c6877f2669&query=Amazing+Spider-Man%2C+The&language=en 2019-10-08 18:49:32.163 Info HttpClient: GET https://private.omdbapi.com?apikey=fe53f97e&plot=full&r=json&s=Amazing+Spider-Man%2C+The&type=movie I know if OMDB is before TMDB and you manually identify it will return the item you are looking for (at least in my test). So the issue resides in the automatic identification with T, T (Y) "Amazing Spider-Man, The". Edited October 9, 2019 by Happy2Play

However, even when I changed the order to OMDB as first preference, "Amazing Spider-Man, The" still did not identify... So lost. And all my folder names are as per the preferred naming scheme.. Almost, and almost really doesn't count. Your best bet is always to use the exact name, with the year, shown on tmdb. With this example that would be \The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)\The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).mkv. Matching the TMDB naming will give you a near 100% recognition rate for English-language installs. No insight into Emby in other languages but I would guess it's similar.

Same question, did you try a manual search on their website? https://www.omdbapi.com/ It produces no results in my testing.
Luke 38500 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Regarding titles with a trailing ", the", I can push some of the same improvements to the Omdb plugin that I did for MovieDb.

Thank you!! I believe you have fixed it, all scanned correctly with the same naming convention "Title, The (Year)"

Hi there, what is the folder structure and folder names/file names?
xgal8 0 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Hi there, what is the folder structure and folder names/file names? Similar to this.my library set is "wd10t/PTDownload/ln_movie",All my media are like this.
xgal8 0 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Hi there, what is the folder structure and folder names/file names? I try to use 1.19 themovietb it can normal work，1.24 themovietb can't.Maybe related to nfo files in my folder.This issue has been very troublesome to me recently.
Happy2Play 9060 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 The problem will be the folder naming scheme you are using since the folder name is queried, not the file name. @@xgal8 Looks like you have the same/similar naming scheme on Folders as in this topic. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/78269-why-the-result-of-matching-movie-metadata-is-so-bad-plex-is-very-high/

So it could have just been by luck that it worked before and does not now. Why are your media folders named that way? What does it mean?

This is a torrent file，all media naming is like this when you download it. folder name = Chinese name + English name + years + some simple media information filename = English name + years + some simple media information these name separated by "." not "blank". I have thousands of movies,renaming is not a good choice.now i use a lower version themoviedb，it looks good.
Luke 38500 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I can't imagine the older version of the plugin would make a difference. Can you attach the emby server log from that? Thanks.
