There is now a SportsDb plugin in the Emby plugin catalog. It works with the TV content type and file naming based on the recommended file names on the SportsDb event pages. In other words, click on an event and at the bottom you will see suggested file names.

I believe the entire file name gets sent to SportsDb for the lookup, which means you'll need to strictly follow these conventions or it will be unlikely to match. 

Enjoy.

I have installed the new plugin, restared my emby.
My Sports library is created as TV content.
my structre in the folder is:

Sports/NFL/S2025/NFL 2025-09-07 Raiders vs Patriots.mkv 

for example.


I have set SportsDB to be the provider of metadata an images on the library.
But still nothing in the new library.

Any tips?

Hi there, what exactly do you mean by "nothing in the new library" ?

How to Report a Problem

Well, 
if i create a library that is "Home videos" i can find all files that comes in the folders (for example) Sports/NFL/S2025/NFL 2025-09-07 Raiders vs Patriots.mkv 

But if I create a library that has the content type "TV Shows" and choose thesportsdb as source of metadata
its just an empty library, nothing to be shown.

How are your files named and organized?

Like this:

/Sport/NFL/Season 2025/NFL 2025-09-07 Washington Commanders vs New York Giants.mkv
/Sport/NFL/Season 2025/NFL 2025-09-09 Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings.mkv

this is after the naming that appears on sportsdb:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2261202-chicago-bears-vs-minnesota-vikings

And what exactly is empty?

[EmilD 1]

My library is set to content type "TV shows" and the metadata is set to
SportsDB.

 

But this library is always Empty under Shows or Episodes.
the only place i can find the files are under "Folders"

Sounds like you still have the folder added into another library with a different content type?
