thibbb 1 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Hi there, Can you help me figure out why I can't identify some series ? i.e. i have Breaking Bad + The Crown + Dexter on 3 different folders that have their own name When I login to my emby server, I can see that BB + TC have their own nice logo + if I open it, the serie has been correctly identified (names, actors, seasons etc) But for Dexter, nothing shown except "Dexter" with a random picture of a random episode. If i click on the "three dots" menu, i can't select the "Identify" shortlink where I can set for example the tag from IMDB, because I just don't have it. I can understant the serie is not identifed, but why can't i identify it by myself ? I have this specific behavior for almost 50% of my series Edit : I can't identify the serie. If I open it, I can't identify "Season 1". If i open "Season 1", i CAN identify a specific episode. Thank you!

pwhodges 1523 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 What's the library type? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8252 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Can you go over folder structure, naming scheme and provide a server log for a specific example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwhodges 1523 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Your initial examples were all TV Series, but you've created a "Films" library. Perhaps you could explain a bit more what your folder and library structure actually is, with actual examples. Alternatively, you could try adding to the folder names for each series or film the IMDB id, in the form "[imdbid=tt12345]". This can help Emby look things up if they are tricky ones (tvdbid or tmdbid can also be used).

Carlo 4330 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Why are you using mixed library instead of TV Shows library for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8252 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I am confused as none of this make since unless wrong content library is used or a structure naming issue.

Paul I am already using IMDB ids to identify TV Shows and Movies, however my problem was that on a few of my TV Shows, I did not have the "Identify" menu that brings me the fields to populate (such as IMDB id) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8252 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Please provide a exact example with naming and structure and a server log showing the failed to identify. If Emby believe it is just a FOLDER it will not have a identify option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thibbb 1 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 I never understood "TV" to equal "TV Shows". If I watch TV, i have a lot of things: movies, shows, informations, reality shows... (+ all VOD stuff) As I saw a lot of things related to TV in all Emby configurations, I assumed that this category somehow did concern TV, not precisely TV Shows  I am not able to give a server log, as said before the problem is now fixed (and did not reproduced until now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Sure "TV" could mean a lot of things but that's not a library option. "TV shows" is the option and that is very clear in meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But cayars is right, it's just labeled differently due to how the French translator translated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Even though it just says "TV" in the context of the drop down choices it would still seem pretty clear I'd think for most people. But we should probably get it translated to either "TV Shows" or "TV Series" which ever is more commonly called in France. But putting the translation aside @thibbbdo you know what to do now to setup each library with specific Library Types for better matching and meta-data?
