miniliQuid 84 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 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?

Luke 36888 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8145 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 How about an example. Emby does not get anything directly from IMDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniliQuid 84 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 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 Guess I made the wrong assumptions along the way haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebr 14863 Posted October 20, 2019 Solution Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi. Yes, their IDs are widely used as keys in other databases. So that's why we allow lookups with them. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
