Incorrect TMDB ID in NFO

October 8, 2024

Would it be possible to store just the numerical TMDB ID in the NFO files rather than the extended string version?

Current Value: <uniqueid type="tmdb">61511-father-brown</uniqueid>

Expected Value: <uniqueid type="tmdb">61511</uniqueid>

The API also returns just 61511 as the ID field, even though both versions work for fetching the data.

October 8, 2024

This seems to have been a recent regression because I have an older NFO generated by Emby for the same show and that has only 61511, as expected.

Hi, there has been no change related to this.

October 8, 2024

It may not be a recent change. The original NFO file I have is from 2022, and the newer one was recreated today after a refresh.

Anyway, can the change from the string to the integer value be done?

@adminExitiumhere is a movie I imported today.

Do you have anything that writes to you nfo files ?

Nope, I also verified it by doing a metadata refresh just to ensure that the latest write was from Emby. This was for a TV Show (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61511-father-brown) btw, so the logic may be different.

October 8, 2024

I am not 100% sure of this, but I think this is happening because of the external ID on the TVDB entry for that show. The TMDB external ID is 61511-father-brown for that show via the TVDB API.

October 8, 2024

Hmm yeah I disabled TMDB for my tv shows, keep getting not so family friendly pictures

Yes testing this I get the Id-name from TVDB when first, but get just the ID if TMDB is first. @Luke

But I guess the question becomes what is it affecting as it is the correct id either way?

It could be an issue when looking things up internally by a tmdb id, grouping things by it, etc. so the tvdb plugin needs updating to normalize it

Looks to be fixed in the latest TVDB plugin update, thanks.
