Can't get correct meta IDs to stick

[zebo51 22]

So the show Team Ninja Warrior, 2 seasons, 2016-2017.  Not sure when but something changed and now it keeps wanting to change it to ANW, ninja vs ninja.  TMDB doesn't have an ID for it, IMDB tt5559366and TVDB 304813 both still have it.  If I search and identify it, results are the correct name but image is just a folder icon.  If i select that it grabs the info from TMDB.  If I edit the meta with those 2 IDs, it is somehow also grabbing the TMDB of 90370 and grabbing the info from it. 

I do have TMDB set as my top for meta, but for just one show how can I not use it since it doesn't have the correct info and just use IMDB/TVDB?  If I can even get it from there once I know I could then lock it, but no luck.

Thanks

 

Edit: So I didn't have TVDB enabled in my settings for meta.  I went and check it although it was 2nd in my list.  Still didn't work.  I had to uncheck TMDB, then go do a refresh with the right IDs and it pulled the right image/info.  Still grabbed the TMDB ID, so I deleted it from the show and then checked the lock box.  Kinda of a pain and maybe seems like it doesn't quite work like it should if you put in the right ID from a source but it doesn't use it.

So now I put things back like I had it, disabled TVDB and made TMDB my main source.

You have to remember first provider is the base for all metadata.  Other providers just fill in the blanks ie still missing.

Really know way around this when providers are missing shows or each provider has different info.  But is not a issue if first provider has your show but since you want TMDB first you will have this issue.

So your steps are spot on.

1. disable TMDB

2. add/fetch Show

3. Lock Show

4. reenable TMDB

Or don't have TMDB as first provider fetch metadata delete wrong TMDBid and lock metadata.

Or go to TMDB and add the Show.

Or put it in a different library.
