Emby server problem with picking wrong release year form The TVDB.

[kira yamato 21]

My Emby is ver.4.8.10.0

I have problem with using the TVDB as the main metadata .its seem that its calculate some thing wrong about the year system, my computer use Buddhist Era which is +543 from Christian Era. but my 2024 series that add or refresh metadata from the 2 of my PC is showing 1481 as the release year. which is wrong i want its just show 2024. 

noted:other source of metadata ex.MovieDb doesn't have this problem at all,

this problem with the TVDB can fix by scan library or refresh metadata from ios device

oh another question why the score under the name of the movie and series can coming from other metadata source not IMDb score? it should be match with sort button that say "IMDb rating"right??

Hi, you're talking about a lunisolar calendar correct?

Can you give us an example TV Show that works correctly in MovieDB but not from TVDB?
If all entries from TVDB are this way the TVDB plugin may not be taking into consideration your system calendar correctly while the MovieDB does.

Its happened with all movies and series its not specific 
Ex .i adding 2024 series with the TVDb as the first priority its show 1481as the year of that series. This happened when adding new series or refresh metadata both of movie and series via all of my windows pc. But if adding or refresh metadata from ios its show correct years as 2024 with TVDb still be the main metadata source

This is something the devs will need to look at.

What do you mean by adding from iOS?  Surely, you add to the file system and the Emby server sees the new media - the client isn't involved.  Even refreshing metadata is done by the server - the client is merely commanding it what to do.  Basically, @LukeI'm struggling to see how the client can affect the data stored.

I suspect what's actually happening is that the data is stored correctly, and the different clients are displaying it differently, because one or another is doing the conversion wrong.

Adding from iOS, it means clicking scan library file by the iOS device.

ex. No Gain No Love (2024) S01E01 

All the metadata and pictures are accurate, except for the release and end years. For instance, the 2024 series is incorrectly displayed as 1481 and 1480 for 2023 series.

[pwhodges 2012]

Aha!  You said the offset for the Buddhist Era year is +543 from CE.  The error you have just listed is -543.  So the release date is being "corrected" from Buddhist Era to CE (by subtracting the offset).

Where this is happening and why I leave to the devs to find @Luke

Hi @kira yamatocan you please attach the emby server log from doing that?

Thanks !

but my 2024 series that add or refresh metadata from the 2 of my PC is showing 1481 as the release year. which is wrong i want its just show 2024. 

Hi, but based on buddhist era time, is it correct?

[pwhodges 2012]

No; the offset has been subtracted, not added - 2024 in the Buddhist time is 1481CE.  But it seems to me that the OP is asking for the release date not  to be converted - so that the "conventional" date of the film is displayed as usual.

Yes I understand what he's asking. First we need to learn where it is happening because that will help tell us if it can be stopped or not.

[pwhodges 2012]

Presumably in the TVDB plugin, because dates from TMDB are not being processed like this (but I don't know if there is any further separation of the code for the two sources within the core server).

A 1481year is displayed on both iOS and Windows devices. If I scan or refresh the metadata from the windows PC ,

Hi, please let me know if this version of the tvdb plugin resolves it:

Tvdb.zip

Thanks.

Thanks.

It appears to be working, but notice that the metadata from Tvdb now includes the release year behind the title name??. In the name section, they have added (year) after the English title, Is its normal????

ex, Good Partner uses metadata from TVDB, while others use MovieDB.

[Luke 42079]

I notice sometimes with tvdb they have the year in the title. I personally don't like it.
