Can't set correct metadata for a single anime

[Zibelas 0]

Im running Emby-Client-Version=4.9.1.80. Im having a hard time setting the metadata for this anime: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/280095

Usually they get picked up automatically, but this one is not in my usual lookup database (TheTVDB). Removed identification. Added the correct id to themoviedb and hit refresh. It added a different series. Removed identification. Went to identity, added the link, it finds the correct one 

So far so good.

 

But instead of loading the anie that I just specifically picked, it adds

Removing all identification and adding just the correct ID to this selection

It will find it as well on trakt.

But when I hit now refresh meta data (or reselecting either option replace all meta data or search for missing meta data) will add a different series. 

First I thought the . in the name is the main problem, since in the logs it will throw some errors

It is missing the . in the  Access to the path '/volume2/Watching 2/Anime/B King/tvshow.nfo' is denied. But even if I name the folder B King without . it does not find the correct anime with providing correct id's.

Have you tried using the Chinese name 驭灵师 instead of B.King?

They're getting the correct result when searching, though, so I don't think the search term is at issue here.

Setting the folder name to the structure  驭灵师/Season 1/S01E01.mp4 is working and it is setting the same external Id when I go to edit meta data as well.

But renaming the folder to B.King and setting the id just the same is not giving me the expected result. While it is certainly a working solution having the chinese name, I have a few hundred englished named folders and having a single one with chinese characters is sub optimal for me.

Welcome to dealing with the idiots at the TVDB. When it comes to international shows, it can be difficult, specially for ones that have had their data removed by the morons over there. It's probable that this show needs to be named in Chinese to be seen properly. Alternatively, you could try to leave it as the Westernized name and add the tmdbid tag to the directory like so B.King [tmdbid=280095] .

I'd argue this is not an Emby issue, this is a metadata issue that Emby has no control over.

@RanmaCanadaWhy would you say that this is not an Emby issue? I'm providing the id directly in the identify window, it matches with the anime and decides to overwrite the found result afterwards with an different id. If an id is provided directly, it should use the provided one.

I have not found the show at all at TVDB, doesnt matter if it is the chinese or english one.

Did you use the id from your highest priority metadata fetcher ?

[Zibelas 0]

There is only a single site that has the anime, there is not much of a choice I have.

If the folder name is the chinese one, the id gets set automatically to the single provider (TheMovieDb).
If the folder name is in english, after removing all identification over the UI when wrongly automatically identified and setting the same id to TheMovieDb again, once meta data refreshes it overwrites it again for the automatically wrong version.

If I use identify and provide the chinese name or TheMovieDb id, it gets found but does not take the selected and found result and overwrites it with something else again.

You have an obscure show that has pretty much zero footprint. Honestly just leave it as the Chinese name. It would appear that TheMovieDB is not sending the right information for the Westernized name, which I have seen with obscure shows.

You might also consider signing up to TVDB and adding this series (with both names) yourself - it's quite easy once you get the knack, though I admit it might get tedious doing it for every episode as they appear (this being a new show).
