gene0915 42 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 A few weeks ago, I was playing around with MB3 and setting up the server portion. I added a test movie, Monsters, Inc. (2001) and it kept wanting to download meta data for some old movie called (I think) Mickey's Gang?! The file name was: Monsters Inc (2001).MKV. Plex had no problems with correctly identifying this movie....why did MB3 fail?
Beardyname 198 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Without knowing what the folder name etc (was there an .nfo present etc) I can't help you with this, But however if a movie is misidentified it's really easy to fix, just bring it up in the metadata-editor. Press identify and start searching!
ebr 16184 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 No idea without more information (How to Report a Problem) but did you try using the web client to identify it? Was it in one of our supported folder structures? How was the Media Folder defined?
GhostRider 49 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) I have seen something similiar. I traced this down to having a trailer file in the movie folder named incorrectly as just "trailer" and not "movie_name-trailer". There is an old Micky Mouse movie called trailer which caused MB3 to to download meta data for this movie. I just renamed the trailer file correctly, deleted the trailer meta data: xml file, poster file, background etc and it all sorted itself out. Edited November 11, 2014 by GhostRider
