Emby not choosing right TV Show even though adding IMDB id

Hi guys, i was wondering if anyone else has had trouble getting Emby to recognise the right TV Show even though i am pasting correct IMDB id. Can someone shed some light if its an IMDB issue or Emby issue.

I have the TV Show 'Handy Bean' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9337464/).

I have all x20 episodes in correct folders with usual naming conventions that i have had no problem up until now.

Handy Bean (2018) / Season 1 / S01E00 to S01E19

 

Somehow, Emby is seeing the right show with Rowan Atkinson but confusing it with a show named 'Delhi’s Most Beautiful Hands' which is unrelated and its IMDB id is tt5011024.

 

Anyone know how to fix this?

Please post the server log, when  you added this series.

IMDB is Never used.  The IMDB id is used as a lookup id on TMDB, OMDB and TVDB.  So S01E00 will be wrong as it is a Special not a season item.

Now testing this this show does not exist on TMDB or TVDB.  Only appear on OMBD.

Can only guess a by name provided wrong show.

The image above is correct as is for what comes from OMDB.

Hi, I have deleted existing files, restarted server and added show back into emby and did a scan of TV Show library. Please see attached server log.

It has seen TV show as 'Handy Bean' now and no id's in 'TheMovieDb' or 'TheTVDB'. However, no metadata showing for each episode and just name of file. I would normally put S01E00.MP4 into a Specials folder or Season 00 but it seems it is not a special and just an ordinary episode as IMDB has all episodes listed under Season 1.

What isn't correct? What metadata fetchers are enabled on the tv library, and in what order?

Once scanned new images preview, no poster and no metadata for episodes as if it doesn't know what the tv show is. If i choose identify, it finds show but thats about it.

 

All meta downloaders are enabled in the following order for Series and Episodes:

TheTVDB

TheMovieDb

The Open movie Database

That image is only on OMDB but OMDB will not return that image.  @Luke have had this discussion before as the image in the json does not alway get fetched.

But OMDB does not really have anything for this series either.  So what you see is all Emby can get.

 

Someone will have to add this series to TVDB or TMDB.

Ah OK, so this is the root issue. Thanks !

@Luke just realized that OMDB is a metadata source at Series level but not a image provider, in this case there the image shown in Identify but will not be fetched.  So is this not a defect in the OMDB plugin?  But this explains why Emby does not get that image.

But yes the root issue is none existence on TMDB or TVDB,

Yes you're right. That's why it's not pulling images. So that should be an easy fix. Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. Will add own poster and details manually. Glad it’s not something I was doing wrong.
