Identify Menu Missing Id Options

[kbeck 64]

I let the update happen a few hours ago. We made a HUGE step backwards. 

1. Identify on the context menu.... Where is the search by IMDB ID # or TMDB ID#???? There's quite a few I would never get identified without looking them up there first. The search by name and year is garbage on rare movies.I have no idea how we id a movie by some independent without it. BTW, the path used to appear at the top, good for spelling and the year of the movie if you name your folder with it.

2. Search is a little bit better. But wow. I used to search for a full name and get maybe 1 or 2 results. I tried Herschell Gordon Lewis.....There's maybe 1 guy in all of history named that. What did I get??? 977 results in just People. Nine hundred and seventy seven results. Luckily the correct search was listed first but the visual garbage..... is stunning. I thought the idea I search was the more you put in the narrower the results became. I tried just Herschell and got 5 results total. I guess less is more.

3. The link to the Emby Premiere icon is broken when you view the Dashboard from a networked computer. Pic below.

4. The Tags pre-sorted is beautiful. Please don't change it.

5. The expanded movie list when you click on a person is nice. I think it used to be this way??? The only way it could be better is if it showed a count of the movies. Again, I think it used to have this a few years ago. 

I'm almost afraid to go back and see what else is lost.

Hi, what metadata fetchers are enabled on the library? I would check that. The change here is that the Identify dialog now only shows fields based on what you've enabled, whereas previously it would show fields that might not even do anything if you don't have the fetchers enabled.

Strange. seems to be OK in my testing.   @Happy2Playare you able to reproduce?

Man I'm about to go f..ing ballistic here. I have 84,000 Custom tags I've spent 2 years working on. Now I see thousands have been changed to all lower case. Thousands... that I've just done in the last few weeks. [redacted]

@kbeckunderstand you are frustrated, but please be civil and refrain from using insults. Please give the Dev team some time to address your concerns.

Reactivating them fixed that issue.

Yeah that's the same issue I had, mine were the "Movie Metadata Downloaders" who handle general identification of all movies so when I added a new item, it never got identified, that's how I found out about my issue.

Good to hear that reenabling them fixed your issue!

For me, looks, everything works fine, only problem, Emby modified most of files for some reason as my rsync to backup server will take days as it's backing up now almost everything. It's not a problem, but as notice for future versions. My library not massive, only 70Tb combined, so will take few days to copy to backup server.

Added log file. I think this is correct one. 

Automatic library scan still works only for very small libraries. For movies or tv shows still need to run manually or as scheduled task. Maybe because of too many folders?

 Happy that now movies can be in different folders! Of course not using that way but protects from typos, creating files. Also, looks, now showing chapter for each video file, not first video. 

 P.s. @Luke It would be great to add feature "Clear saved track selections" for audio/subs per show instead resetting all files. Don't want to create new topic with this as it would be just as extra.
