Identifying music videos

[arrbee99 1817]

I though I'd give it a go, so -

I look in my Music Videos > Artists section. I pick an unidentified one (The Jam). I look up the number in TheAudioDB, seems to be 112719. Go to Identify and type that number under TheAudioDB entry and click Identify. It finds nothing.

I try another -

I look in my Music Videos > Artists section. I pick an unidentified one (Black). I look up the number in TheAudioDB, seems to be 119891. Go to Identify and type that number under TheAudioDB entry and click Identify. It finds nothing.

I try another -

I look in my Music Videos > Artists section. I pick an unidentified one (Genesis). I look up the number in TheAudioDB, seems to be 119229. Go to Identify and type that number under TheAudioDB entry and click Identify. It finds nothing.

Am beginning to suspect a pattern here.

Any handy hints please ?

If I do the same thing but with MusicBrainz then it works just fine.

It's not broken. It's just subject to the limitations of the Imvdb search engine.

Use musicbrainz id's as that is what drives AudioDb.

i respectfully disagree. its been broken since May at least. nothing is returned from a search even if you provide the correct imvdb id.

Strange. I am not getting that exception in my testing. It could be because you're stuck on an older beta server.

my server was pretty busy when i posted that so that error was from when i reported on 31 May. I've tested again today and get the same error

tbh, through no fault of emby, the imvdb plugin is pretty pointless so i havent really pushed this. i've just turned it off as a metadata provider and properly name and tag my music vids

[arrbee99 1817]

It would be nice if some of the info available under Music Videos > Artists section could be made available to Music Videos > Videos section. I should imagine Logos and some other stuff would be common to both.

Maybe I should try MusicBrainz and see if it can identify my Kpop collection...

[arrbee99 1817]

Stranger things have indeed happened

[Luke 42083]

OK please see if the 1.1 update to the plugin resolves that error. Thanks.

Is the IMDBV still returning all those false positives? I haven't used it in a long, long time as it filled my MV library with nonsense.

it returns a best match unfortunately, so it does still require a fair amount of manual work

[Spaceboy 2573]

@Luke unfortunately i still don't get any results returned when searching on the imvdb id or name. however i don't see the error above in the logs anymore. these are the only two lines evident in the logs following a search:

OK yes there's also an issue in the core server. Thanks.
