Install TVDB plugin

[Ikbenikke 0]

Hello everybody,

Probally this question has already been posted here  but I was not able to find  it.
Does anybody how you can configure the TVDB plugin on Emby.
It is already installed and my server is restarted, but I don't  see any option to enter a api-key or something like that to make it work.

Thanks for the help

TVDB plugin has no settings to configure. Are you facing any issues?

I presume you need an api-key or something like that to make it work (to connect to your TVDB account)
When I  enter a TVDB -id there is no metadata loaded.

You don't, it should work out-of-the-box. 

Do you have it listed under your Plugins list (Settings>Advanced section in the sidebar)? 

Which item you're trying to identify? What library type?

Yes the plugin is listed under installed apps. 
I tried to identify this item: https://thetvdb.com/series/tom-and-jerry/episodes/101415

Under external id's (TheTVDB id) I  added 101415

You can't identify individual episodes (or seasons) - only TV shows. 

Adding external ID does not cause an episode to re-Identify, it needs to be done on TV show level.
