Disable tvdb?


Recommended Posts

I am trying to rip all of the disks for Rocky and Bullwinkel, but the metadata manager insists on pulling the very incorrect information from tvdb, rather than the correct version from imdb.

What gives, and short of doing a DNS blackhole, how do I disable it?

I found this, but I don't see any of those settings on my version (my version  Emby Web 4.6.7.0):

Nothing comes from IMDB.  But you could disable TVDB import this series then reanable the provider.  Ensuring to lock series after import.

Hi there, have you explored the metadata provider options in your emby library settings?

What do you mean "Nothing comes from IMDB"?

"But you could disable TVDB" - HOW?  I have no way to do that?

IMDB ids are used to query TVDB, TMDB, OMDB, nothing comes directly from IMDB as they want $150,000 a year for metadata.

Ok, I see it now, thank you.

$150k, damn. 

Ok then, I guess this is going to be horrendously painful.  I have no idea why tvdb would have the episodes chopped up the way they do.  They are not available anywhere layed out like that, with each "skit" labeled as a complete episode.

Thank you for the help.

I think I average about 1 show like this per hundred. Sometimes it just makes no sense why the meta-data providers have a specific show setup a certain way as they are never found on disk or broadcast that way.

One thing you can do that often helps is to go out and look at each provider you have setup to see how it looks on the providers site.  If one of the providers has what you want then your life got easier as you can temporarily turn off other providers until this show is IDed and loaded.

Thanks.

I'm just manually editing the metadata using what is posted in IMDB.

It's a pain, but I'm over halfway done already.

That sounds difficult.  Why don't you just use the provider that has this correct for this series so it pulls the data automatically?
Once this is done it will by "synced" to that provider and any future updates will be automatic.

Because the provider that has it correct is IMDB, and apparently that one is unusable

Very common issue with cartoons as they are split on all provider by together and mixed in IMDB

Example on IMDB

"The Bullwinkle Show" Jet Fuel Formula/Bullwinkle's Ride or Goodbye, Dollink (TV Episode 1959) - IMDb   episode 1

But TVDB and TMDB split them into S01E01 and S01E05

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show - Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel Formula (1) - Jet Fuel Formula - TheTVDB.com   episode 1

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show - Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel Formula (2) - Bullwinkle's Ride or Goodbye, Dollink - TheTVDB.com   episode 5

There are dozens of topics on this issue, so if your media is these merged mixed season/episode format there is no clean way to do this.

I got it done.  It was tedious, but not horrible.

Yes, perfect examples.
