podonnell 47 Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 Hi, I am using TVDB for metadata provider, and in one example, I see 4 results listed under 'network'. Within Emby, only the last listed network is showing up. Looking at the metadata of the item, it seems that one is listed first, but it's not by alpha sorting. Do we know what the priority of sorting is for this? I would love to be able to default to the first listed entry on TVDB, as that is usually the most accurate and primary studio.
Luke 42078 Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 Hi, it should be the same order as your highest priority series metadata fetcher.

It looks like it's pulling in both the Studio section and the Production company section. But I can't see how the sorting logic is working. For some items, it seems to be the last entry on TVDB under Studio, for others it is the first.
Luke 42078 Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

"companies": [{ "id": 582, "name": "YouTube", "slug": "youtube", "nameTranslations": ["ara", "deu", "eng", "fra", "kor", "pt", "spa"], "overviewTranslations": ["deu", "fra", "pt", "spa"], "aliases": ["{language:ara,name:يوتيوب}"], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 1, "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 1, "companyTypeName": "Network" } }, { "id": 1401, "name": "Podcast (All Platforms)", "slug": "podcast", "nameTranslations": ["eng", "ita", "pt", "spa"], "overviewTranslations": [], "aliases": [], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 1, "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 1, "companyTypeName": "Network" } }, { "id": 328, "name": "HBO", "slug": "hbo", "nameTranslations": ["eng", "nld", "pt", "spa"], "overviewTranslations": ["pt", "spa"], "aliases": ["{language:eng,name:Home Box Office}"], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 1, "activeDate": "1972-11-08", "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 1, "companyTypeName": "Network" } }, { "id": 39667, "name": "Sony Pictures Television", "slug": "sony-pictures-television", "nameTranslations": ["eng"], "overviewTranslations": [], "aliases": [], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 2, "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 3, "companyTypeName": "Production Company" } }, { "id": 49054, "name": "PlayStation Productions", "slug": "playstation-productions", "nameTranslations": ["eng"], "overviewTranslations": [], "aliases": [], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 3, "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 3, "companyTypeName": "Production Company" } }, { "id": 49055, "name": "The Mighty Mint", "slug": "the-mighty-mint", "nameTranslations": ["eng"], "overviewTranslations": [], "aliases": [], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 3, "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 3, "companyTypeName": "Production Company" } }, { "id": 30276, "name": "Naughty Dog", "slug": "naughty-dog", "nameTranslations": ["eng"], "overviewTranslations": [], "aliases": [], "primaryCompanyType": 3, "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 3, "companyTypeName": "Production Company" } }, { "id": 49057, "name": "Word Games", "slug": "word-games", "nameTranslations": ["eng"], "overviewTranslations": [], "aliases": [], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 3, "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 3, "companyTypeName": "Production Company" } }, { "id": 49093, "name": "Max", "slug": "49093-max", "nameTranslations": ["eng", "pt"], "overviewTranslations": [], "aliases": [], "country": "usa", "primaryCompanyType": 1, "activeDate": "2023-05-23", "companyType": { "companyTypeId": 1, "companyTypeName": "Network" } } So I have no idea how their website orders them or how Emby could order them differently.
podonnell 47 Posted April 15, 2025 Author Posted April 15, 2025 I guess my main gripe is that I would like to browse by studio sometimes, straight from clicking the studio listed on the series page. But the series page only shows a single studio, which is effectively random based on how these come in.

Scroll down on item/series Detail page to "About" section, you'll have all the Studios listed - you can click/follow any of them. Edited April 15, 2025 by GrimReaper 1

Wonderful, I see them! Will keep this noted. And if I really wanted to change that primary one myself, would it 'lock' the series metadata from being updated, or just the studio section?

You can lock either the Studio section only or an item altogether (notice the lock at the right of Studio header in Edit Metadata dialog). 1
