jzuilkowski 3 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 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):
Happy2Play 9780 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Nothing comes from IMDB. But you could disable TVDB import this series then reanable the provider. Ensuring to lock series after import.

I have no way to do that?

I have no way to do that? per library options Settings-Library-select library. IMDB ids are used to query TVDB, TMDB, OMDB, nothing comes directly from IMDB as they want $150,000 a year for metadata.
jzuilkowski 3 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 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.
Carlo 4561 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 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. 1
jzuilkowski 3 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 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.
Carlo 4561 Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 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. Carlo

Carlo 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. 2
jzuilkowski 3 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Posted February 10, 2022 I got it done. It was tedious, but not horrible. 1

Yes, perfect examples.
