Jinhjy 2 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Hey so I was hoping for tips or help on how to fix this issue. So I keep running into having a TV show detect correctly, but the season and episode metadata is of another show's for some reason. I checked and the episode IDs are the correct ones for the correct show, however, again the metadata it grabs is for the wrong show. I am not sure what to do to correct it other than go through manually and correct the metadata myself. See attached screenshot as an example of what this looks like currently. Thanks for all your time and help! Edited June 29, 2020 by Jinhjy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chyron 221 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 What is the correct name of the show, and how are you naming/organizing your files for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chyron 221 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Ah. I see. The metadata for the show is populating from "Why Not?!", but the season poster and episode thumbnails are populating from "Why Women Kill." I think maybe you should post your server logs to shed more light on what it is doing. Edited June 29, 2020 by Chyron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also refresh metadata if that might help make the logs more relevant since I've added much content since adding this show in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8289 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) What external IDs appear in Edit metadata for the Series? Edited June 29, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8289 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) That is what I suspected a Providerid series Mismatch. So each provider returns something different. If the series does not exist on other sites you will probably have to delete wrong ids, Refresh and lock metadata. Or try Identify with the TVDBid.

So, I did that and corrected the ID for TheMovieDB too. However, even after a refresh metadata and replace images. Only first episode's thumb image corrects, while the descriptions and thumbs of the episodes still suffer of some residue. Any easy way of cleaning this up? Thanks for all the help so far.

Tried the second option of your suggestion, and it proceeds to grab the other shows' thumbs and description somehow even though the metadata IDs for the show are the corrected ones.

Jinhjy 2 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 I ended up trying a second try which seemed to work for the most part. Idk if these logs will be helpful.embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37084 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The easy way is to just use the identify feature with the tvdb id. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
