metadata synology omdb api key

[Rp4000 3]

so i opened one of the .nfo files on my movies folder and it showed this for the image :  https://img.omdbapi.com/?i=tt6902676&apikey=fe53f97e   
but when i went to that link it says the api is invalid.  and now lots of metadata is missing.  if i manually add the image it works fine and emby stores the image file directly in the folder. 

i am in china so i can not use tvdb i need to use imdb or fanart

so i went to omdbapi and registered for a new key, but where do i put this information in the emby server. 

[Rp4000 3]

@luke  i know you guys control the plugin for omdb  is there anyway to input manually our own api. that we created from the website.

if i do use the identify section it does find the movie, but it is only downloading the poster and it is downloading the poster in 200x300 resolution.

There's no way to customize the omdb API key at this time but it's something we'll probably add in future updates. Thanks.

ok, but is there something in the settings that i make emby work like how it did before?  

 

could it be the way my folders / files are named  

    -  many of my folders have  "." between each words.

 

is there a way to set it so that it only grabs information from fanart.tv (i have already installed the plugin.

 

any tips or help would be great  because the latest final build 4.3.1.0 build until synology tells me to update to 4.4.0.40 .  

 

i am kind of at a lost because many posters are just image grabs from the file and no backgrounds or even actor pictures or information. 

the only information i can see populating is a small snaps of the movie and the rating from imdb. 

 

any help would be great thanks @luke

what i really dont understand is that if i go to search for the pictures inside emby it can't seem to find anything i only see the loading circle. but i know the website isn't blocked because it works just fine from my computer 

 

when i look at the logs i see this 

Error ProviderManager: FanartMovieImageProvider failed in GetImageInfos for type Movie

does this have to do with not having correct permissions on synology or is this a different problem.

Hi, fanart often has issues due to their site being under heavy load. please attach the emby server log. Thanks.

The reason for the spinning circle is you have to wait for moviedb requests to time out and fail:

Looks like your having a network problem. Something is blocking your connection to MovieDb.

i dont know what tell you the website https://www.themoviedb.org/  loads just fine.   so what can i do to test this or fix this. 

[Luke 37024]

Typical causes of this are firewall, security software or VPN blocking the emby server process. Can you look into this?

on my synology server i dont run a vpn, but the firewall is turned on, but i never had this issue before in the past. 

[Luke 37024]

I would check that as well as turn off Synology Quick Connect if you have that turned on.

[Rp4000 3]

@@Luke is it possible to have  the metadata searches go through a proxy on the synology nas  package center version. ?  if no  then is it possible to do it in the docker version? 

[Luke 37024]

Well, not easily at this point, but i suppose it's possible for the future. 

[Luke 37024]

 

@luke  i know you guys control the plugin for omdb  is there anyway to input manually our own api. that we created from the website.

 

 

We can add a setting for this in the future, no problem, but curious, why do you want it?
