Force Identification with Singular Source

[DatBoiSus 1]

I'm trying to get the server to pull metadata for Danganronpa 3.
It's kind of a mess because sometimes it's listed as 1 show with 3 seasons, sometimes it's 3 separate shows, and sometimes the single-episode 3rd season is listed as a movie or special.

IMDB seems to have the best data.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6016316/
Although that is tt6016216, and when I manually enter that and refresh metadata, it changes to tt6027642 which seems to redirect on the site...

But when I refresh metadata it also ads the TMDB ID:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/67674-danganronpa-3-the-end-of-kibougamine-gakuen-zetsubou-hen
Which is only for the second season listed as its own show, and they don't have listings for the 1st season, but they do for the 3rd as a movie.

It also ads a TVDB ID:
https://thetvdb.com/series/danganronpa-3-the-end-of-hopes-peak-academy-side-despair
Which again only has the second season, and the 3rd as a movie.

If I could force it to just pull from IMDB it would probably be fine, but it's pulling from incorrect sources.

Is there a way to make sure it only pulls data from 1 source?

Although I'm not sure it even can pull from IMDB, because I tried to temporarily turn off all other metadata sources in the library settings and it's not one of them.

Hi.  We do not pull directly from IMDb because it is a (very expensive) paid service.

Try going to TVDB and simply looking up "Danganronpa" (without the 3), and you will see all the various series for the whole franchise.

Yes, it's a mess (and looking at the details in the Wikipedia article about it confirms this), but at least you can then decide which versions of what they offer you want to go with, and then name your files appropriately so they get recognised (appropriately, in this case, may mean including the TVDBid in the main folder name).

Alternately, you can join TVDB or themoviedb and help edit the series to get the data correct.  It's not hard and they will likely appreciate it.

Some of the problem with them is they are open and people make the data match what they have rather than make it correct.  I just fixed a 168 episode series on TVDB that someone had reduced to 20 episodes to match their "best of" DVD or something rather than adding a best of DVD.

It's an issue everywhere but the administrators are good about locking data - at least at TVDB once someone spends time to correct it.

TVDB does also lock wrong data sometimes...  But usually because some people disagree.

And their rules can be odd.  I've just been watching a series that they insist is being broadcast a week later than I've been watching it!

Yes but if you can show you have the correct data, they have no problem unlocking or editing it.

Though for some shows, "correct" is a multi-valued thing, and their main choice might simply be different from yours.  I guess in some cases alternate orderings can get round that, but of course Emby is behindhand in implementing these.
