TV show released as movie

[PatrickStar 2]

Hey,

i have an issue with the title "Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn". The mentioned title has aired as a mini tv show but was also released as a merged movie, imdb and the moviedb do only list it as a tv show / mini series. How would i go on to fetch the correct metadata for the movie? I tried setting the imdbid manually as well as adding it to the name but that did not work since the id is related to a show and not a movie.

 

I am happy for any help or hint in the right direction and looking forward to your responses

Best Regards

Considering TVDB, TMDB, OMDB and TVMaze list it as a TV show - you can't. You can either fill the metadata manually and lock the item or rename video file to S01E01-E05 and scrape it as a series and get all data automatically.

Edit: You can also append/adjust such created NFO accordingly and put it back in your movie library afterwards if you're keen of having it there.
