Hi all. How do I add IMDB to external id's to search for movie meta info.

thanks

Identify on three-dot menu has an IMDB Id field?

Note that Emby scrapes no data from IMDB, it is used solely for matching ID with other meta-providers.

I thought it did get data from IMDB. I used to have the option in Meta Manager to plug in an IMDB number. Does it get data from unlisted sources? I only have TMDB listed.

thanks

If movie-type library, you should have TMDB as a primary meta-scraper by default. Have you uninstalled TMDB plugin? 

Edit: Just saw your edit, was confused with "I only have OMDB". Yeah, that's about it, TMDB and OMDB for movies.

No metadata comes directly from IMDB, the id is used for queries on TMDB and OMDB.
