When checking metadata, there are several boxes to link to, one of them being IMDB.

However when checking a certain library for where it should get it's metadata from, IMDB isn't there.

Is emby connected with IMDB or is this pulled from somewhere else?

Hi, Imdb is not a free and open data service. We use the best of what is available, so that means MovieDb, Tvdb, Omdb, etc.

How about an example.  Emby does not get anything directly from IMDB.

Oh, the IMDB ID made me think it also pulled info from IMDB.

That made me think that maybe you had a deal with IMDB for commercial license or something.

And that made me wonder why there wasn't a metadata box :D

Guess I made the wrong assumptions along the way haha.

Hi.  Yes, their IDs are widely used as keys in other databases.  So that's why we allow lookups with them.

 

Thanks.
