scf 0 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'm trying to get primary images preferentially from The Open Movie Database. I have it first in the list, ahead of TheMovieDb (see attached). However, even though there are images listed un TOMD, Emby always gets them from TMDB. I can see the images in TOMD when I use "Edit Images" and search for alternate images, so it's not like Emby can't find them at TOMD. How do I fix this?

Happy2Play 8216 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The image display via Edit image for OMDB is not always available via their api. The json file we get for them I believe is a online cached image. Can you post the server log with a specific example. Will try to find the other topic on this issue.

Happy2Play 8216 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Luke do we parse the poster from the json file, when api returns no results? Discussed here. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/80991-omdb-not-returning-poster-images-when-tmdb-source-selected-identify/&do=findComment&comment=864793 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scf 0 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 I think this is the relevant part of the log. This is from doing a "Refresh Metadata" command from the pop-up menu on the specific item and checking "Replace existing images". Note that this is after I removed TMDB from the search list; no image was placed in the database, although the prior TMDB image still appears (cached? embedded?). There are valid OMDB images. embyserver-2.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 What image were you expecting to get? Why do you feel an image wasn't downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scf 0 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 I was expecting to get the OMDB image (attached). I have TMDB unchecked, but I keep getting the TMDB imagery for the poster. My mistake about not getting any imagery; in my TV libraries I had the "Put artwork into media library" option checked but not in Movies. Now I have it checked for both, and am getting artwork in the media directories--but it's all from TMDB, even through I have TMDB unchecked, OMDB checked, and OMDB first the priority order.

Luke 36991 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Why do you think it's from Tmdb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scf 0 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Because OMDB doesn't have that image. When I use "Edit Images" on that movie, and search for alternate Primary images, here's what shows up: The only OMDB image is the one with the extra text, at the end of the list. When I used "Replace Metadata" with "Replace existing Images" checked, I get the first TMDB image every time, even when I have TMDB unchecked and OMDB checked in the search criteria in Settings. I verified which image by looking at the resolution of the image that shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scf 0 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I may see the confusion; in the post I put up Monday, I said: Quote I was expecting to get the OMDB image (attached). The image attached to that post is the OMDB image. I only get that image by manually selecting it when using Edit Images. I can never get it using Replace Metadata.

Luke 36991 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That's because replace metadata will go by your library settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scf 0 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 My library settings are set to ignore TMDB and prioritize OMDB. It's been in this order since the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Are you sure you've configured the options for the right library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scf 0 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Yes. I have two libraries, one for Movies and one for TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8216 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) You are showing us screenshots of Metadata downloader order not Image fetcher order. So that screenshot would be irrelevant for what image is downloaded. Can you post your image fetcher order. Note you have to enable "Show Advanced Setting" on the library to see the additional options. Edited November 1, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scf 0 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Oh FFS. Ok. That works. May I suggest that having separate settings like that, one hidden in an separate area, is not good user interface design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
