Problem when movie genre "sport"

[Hispanico957 23]

I have some problem with many movie reference sport. Explain

For example Race

Race - Il colore della vittoria (2016) - IMDb

geners are: biographical, sports drama

while in my Server Emby i have only two genres: Drama and history

So in my case all movie sport not report genre sport and consequently not exist "Sport" genre in my library.

Is there an alternative that can group and/or classify movisalso as sports films, because doing it manually takes forever

 

Thank

Hispa

Nothing is ever scraped from IMDB.

That said, genres are exclusively dependent of meta-providers used and their order. In your case, there is no perfectly happy solution as TMDB (most common top-preferred movie provider) doesn't even recognize "Sport" as a genre:

Genres - Movie Bible — The Movie Database (TMDB) (themoviedb.org)

and you likely have it as top-preferred provider as well, as per:

which is likely where they came from:

Race (2016) — The Movie Database (TMDB) (themoviedb.org)

TVDB does have "Sport" as a genre:

Genres - TheTVDB.com

though for that particular movie it doesn't list it as a genre either.

Race - TheTVDB.com

 Only provider that has it listed for "Race" is OMDB:

but you generally don't want OMDB as your top-preferred provider as that'll likley create more issues and/or missing/incomplete metadata then solve this particular "Sports" genre issue.

So, besides lot of manual workarounds (deleting parts of metadata, changing library settings multiple times, locking items etc.), don't see it being achievable, it's much easier to just add "Sports" as genre manually to those few odd items you deem valid.
