Hi, what metadata fetchers are enabled on the library?

[ZAIAC001 6]

Enabled themoviedb, for episodes only both themoviedb and thetvdb
everywhere themoviedb higher priority (up in list)

Metadata gathering works great

Try to create new library but that not helps

Checked themoviedb - missing episode exists

Is full reinstal on clean OS can help?
And is pro key transferable to new instance of emby?

[Luke 42077]

The feature requires tvdb to be enabled for the series.

[ZAIAC001 6]

Ive tried both enable it and enable only it

No result

And I would like to prefer moviedb

Cos tvdb very trashy

[ZAIAC001 6]

Tried to disable all meta souurces except tvdb and full rescan library

Not helps

[ZAIAC001 6]

Found strange behaviour

Episodes appeared Only if enable tvdb in ALL libraries

(Good that only series itself meta need tvdb, episodes and seasons not needed tvdb) 

But strange why

Is meta not separated from another libraries?

For example if I add same tv show in two libraries

And why tvdb if moviedb has same info

So I need add translation to both sites?

Or how does it works?

Did you enable tvdb for both Series and Episode's?

And also after enabling tvdb did yo do a metadata refresh?

[ZAIAC001 6]

as I mentioned

I'd prefer disable tvdb cos it very trashy and hard to edit translations

Usability of that site is one of worst Ive seen

[Neminem 1518]

Then I guess this is a feature request.

[ZAIAC001 6]

And enough to enable it only on tv meta

Not for episodes and seasons (as I tested)

Lowered priority to the end and feature still work

Mb try for a while to not disable tvdb and look what happened with my library 

[Neminem 1518]

Well sorry for trying to help you.

Just another Emby user, trying to help

[ZAIAC001 6]

Oh, sorry for that

I appreciate for any help

At least you help me to figure out how does this feature work

Mb you know how to use tvdb efficiently?

To fill tv season so many clicks and page walking

Its annoying a lot

[ZAIAC001 6]

Well I want to cleanup meta on tvdb but that not possible with current UI

Look at moviedb

They made so user-friendly interface

It doesn't need to be enabled in all libraries. Best guess is maybe you have some of the same folders added to more than one library.

But ideally we should get the missing episodes feature supported with moviedb.

An update to the MovieDb plugin has gone out to add support for this.

Is it correct?

(Done full library rescan and gather meta)

No, tvdb is not required to be enabled for it now.

What does this mean? Example/screenshot? Is that good or bad?
